Keepers of Bees

Honey Bee gathering pollen from a Quince flower

See the honey bee on the flowering quince? Take a look at this bee’s legs and the pollen that’s been collected. Chances are this honey bee came from one of the hives kept by Randall Roberts and Anne Marsden, beekeepers who live right here in Peachtree Park. Their hives are on the Peachtree Park Nature Trail near the community garden.

You can read more about how they give these bees a home and manage the hives on our page about these Honey Bee keepers.

Early Bloomers

In Georgia, we are lucky. With a little planning, something is blooming in our yard every month of the year – important to have something for the pollinators. Warm weather and sun the last few days have brought out the blooms and the early pollinators. The short video taken yesterday afternoon shows just how many and how many different kinds of pollinators are attracted to the plum tree in bloom.
