Dr. Sean Clark brought his beekeeping class to the BUF yesterday to see our Layens hives. These hives have been strong honey producers this spring. Shown below is a frame of honey we harvested a few days ago that weighs about 10 pounds. We will be using this honey on June 20 for a workshop on making electuaries -- mixtures of honey and medicinal herbs. The workshop will be led by Joana Amorim of Sylvatica Forest Farm, and participants will get to see the bees and then make an electuary using BUF honey and BUF herbs.

The BUF bees are putting up honey at a rapid rate, so we had to do a harvest to make room for some empty frames. Jamie extracted honey as cut comb. Amazing taste.

Our sweet potato patch is planted and rain and cooler temps should help in establishing the young plants. We have some slips left over and have bundled them for the sales table, $2 per bundle. Everything else is $2 per pot including sesame and watermelon. These are our extras, so there aren't a lot of them. 201 Adams street by the sidewalk. All proceeds support our educational programs for the community.

We are working hard to get our transplants into the ground at the BUF. As we do, we often end up with extra starts that we don't need. In that case, we put them on our sidewalk sales table at 201 Adams. So, its an eclectic mix and you don't know what you will find, but there are herbs, flowers, and vegetables. $2 each which is a low price because we want to share with the community. So stop by if you are in the area. All proceeds support our educational programs.
