Honey is Here

Our Foulkeways honey will go on sale on Monday afternoon in the Gift Box.  We have about 100 jars for sale.

More of Sandy

There were trees down in many backyards.  Here is one behind R-1.

The ferocity of the wind can be seen in trees that were snapped off.

Not all the trees appear to be shallow rooted.

Trees were down in the far corners of our campus.  That is Rte. 202 in the backgroud with the traffic now moving on it today.

One of the many trees down near S-3.  These cottages are still without power.

Sandy

This large evegrren tree came down in the pre-school playground.  It is amazing that the tree did not damage the nearby buidings.

Near the Beaumont House there were many trees down, and even across Meetinghouse Road.  There was an extimate of 40 to 50 trees were down.

The garage did sustain damage.

Meetinghouse Road and Rte. 202 were closed, and this power line snapped into three parts.

We were able to get a hot lunch, and the CEO was pressed into service in the Meadow Cafe.

Autumn here and there

Any Afternoon

Or morning too, it might be time to take a walk at Gwynedd Wildlife Preserve, A Natural Lands Trust Preserve on Swedesford Road.  It is just over a mile from here.

In the afternoon you might see a buckeye, rather than a bird.

There are so many wonderful paths to follow.

But be sure to look up and down.  Down so you don't miss this orange sulphur.

Up, there might be a bird in the pear treee.

Bees - Getting Ready for Winter

These mouse guards are already in place on the big hives.

These mouse guards were added to the  small hives, and also the cardboard, which aids in the prevention of hive raiding, and keeps them warm in winter.

The small hives need to be fed sugar water to make them able to last the winter.  Here are the 3 empty jars.

They are filled with sugar water and replaced within the hive.

Even some of the big hives are not heavy enough and get supplemental sugar water feeding.  We want the bees to be able to last through the cold weather of winter.
