I am sure that you have been impatiently awaiting an update on the rooftop garden. I apologize if anyone had difficulty sleeping, tossing and turning while thinking “For crying out loud, I need to know what is going on in the Bastille rooftop garden...NOW!” Fear no longer, locavores.
Particularly of note, even in the colder weather that we have had the past few weeks, the bees have been very active and have started storing quite a bit of honey.
Corky Luster, of Ballard Bee Company, says we are ready to start harvesting honey from the hives. The photo below shows us examining the hive frames to assess how healthy the bees are (very healthy).
Below is a frame that the bees are packing full of honey as we speak:
Elsewhere on the roof, the salad greens are growing well and have been enjoying the past few sunny days tremendously, we can see them here catching some rays late last week…
More to come in the next few weeks!
