This year our NPCG Apiary focus was on apiary maintenance and improvement and community education. We had a wonderful year with the bees and were able to host two community learning workshops in the garden as well as meeting countless neighbours who stopped by during our bee inspections. We have experienced a huge amount of support for our bees in the community garden and their contribution to local food security, green infrastructure awareness, as well as the health of our community garden. The success of this project is important in our neighbourhood because it continues and furthers the goal of our community garden – to learn, make friends, and grow food!
We hope to continue the apiary project next year, host more awareness events in the garden and meet more members of our community.
