Winged Art by Athenianaire

Looking forward to seeing our girls out and about this spring! We just finished our planting plan and are dreaming up ideas for the pollinator habitat (where these girls were photographed in our pumpkin blossoms).

Raffi is installing bees into the new hive today! The hive was name Yvaine (from the boom Stardust by Neil Gaiman) and she is painted to honor David Bowie. She is a horizontal "Layens" style hive while Andromeda and Persephone are our Top Bar style hives. More pictures to come later stay tuned!

Spring has sprung. While here in Mew England we are still getting snow you may find on a warm sunny day a winged fairy emerging from their slumber. Morning Cloak Butterflies are often the first large species spotted in spring (small moths can emerge as early as February) and can take some snowy weather. This species overwinter as an adult! During Butterflies in the garden month I'll talk about how you can create environments that help the species overwinter.

Spring is here! Even though we still have snow on the ground here in the North East Nature is waking up from it's winter Slumber. Our Taps are flowing with Maple Sap to be boiled into syrup and the buds on our shrubs and trees are swelling, patches of ground have bulbs coming up and even some Crocus are blooming! We have been busy decorating stakes to use for the Chicken Run, making flowers from Egg Cartons, Egg Shell Planters, sowing seeds, and checking on all our 48 cocoons!
I will post some of the projects and crafts we have been working on shortly!

Do you have a Pollinator Patch in your yard? In April We will talk about how to have one in your yard! Butterflies in the Garden Month begins in May! (No yard is too small or too big to have a Pollinator Patch or Butterfly Garden, even containers on a patio, deck, or apartment patio can create a pollinator and lep friendly environment)
