We hear a lot about the decline of bee populations due to pesticide use and other factors. Westbury Community Garden has plans to add an apiary, or honey bee habitat, to the garden’s 7-acre property to support these valuable pollinators.
Our apiary plans include
- fencing to enclose the apiary area
- several Langstroth bee hive boxes
- signage
- bee-keeping tools and suits
- bee-friendly plants
There are several ways you can contribute to the fund-raising effort for honey bees.
