Join us
for our January Stone Soup
Next Friday, January 30, please join us at 12 noon for a bowl of hot soup and fresh bread at our monthly stone soup lunch. We will be hosting these informal lunches on the last Friday of the winter months to hear about the work of local organizations that are addressing important issues in our area.
This month, we welcome Judy Lehrer Jacobs of Friends of the Blue Hills to give an overview of the work they do to preserve and enhance the beauty of the Blue Hills Reservation.
Weather permitting, we will take a short walk after lunch to get a glimpse of the beautiful winter landscape at the Wakefield Estate. Space is limited so please RSVP by calling (617) 333-0924. |
Honeybees in winter? Ever wonder what happens to bees during the long winter months? Even with the recent below-zero temps, honeybees keep busy - busy keeping warm that is! Honeybees live through the winter by creating a massive cluster in the middle of the hive around the queen bee. The heat generated by thousands of pulsating wings can maintain a temperature inside the hive of 70 degrees! Wakefield's beekeeper Scott Harris recently checked the hive and found them alive and well - and staying warm! |
