BEES!

Just when the mid-winter bleariness seemed to have set in, I got a delightful email telling me to go here: www.torontobees.ca. It's just a shell, at the moment, but it's the future home of the toronto beekeeper's co-operative website. If you're a bee nerd, this is terribly exciting. Over the past year or two bees have really come into the spotlight and last summer our co-op had a huge membership and was involved in getting hives on the top of the Royal York hotel in Toronto (the Royal York's honey won second place in their class at the Royal Winter Fair!)

This year, with increased funding and the support and permits and approval for some huge new projects, we're looking at a lot of work and a lot of fun. Keep an eye on the website if you're interested in seeing what we're up to, what the bees are up to, or what you can get up to to help our little stripey friends.
