Or do we?
Caroline, the bee inspector, says there are now too many honey bee colonies in the capital, and insufficient forage. Maybe the best support we can give the bees is to plant forage plants - for which I have a number of lists if anybody wants to peruse them. Friends of the Earth have a bee seed package for about £3.00.
However, at the meadow orchard there has been a species survey and an intention to conserve the site, which I was told a couple of years ago…

On Friday 1st - that lovely sunny day, i saw many bees around the national hive, but sadly none around the top bar. I have now opened the hive and found no survivors. There was a lot of honey at the top of all the combs, so it was not starvation.Also no bees buried head down in the combs looking for honey, which is a sure sign of a starved colony. I am hoping it was not the same disease that killed Paul's colonies last summer. I kept a jar of the dead bees and contacted Caroline, the bee…

Are members aware that a planning application has been lodged to erect an inflatable dome, as big as an aircraft hangar on the tennis courts only 100 meters away from the Meadow Orchard Project? Check it out on Haringey's Planning website HGY/2013/0039
If you want to register an objection this must be done by 15th February at the latest.I have put some leaflets with more details at the top of the footpath.
Many thanks for helping to preserve the natural habitats around…

Hello everyone.
Just wanted to announce the birth of our lovely baby Ash on 24th November 2012.
We will bring him to the Meadow Orchard in the spring or whenever weather better.

There are many ripe blackberries in the far end of Meadow Orchard at the moment. I have already picked a load and made about 10 pounds of blackcurrent and apple jam last week. Patrick is going to open the door on Thursday 30th day time to allow some more picking. And of course Meadow Orchard is normally open on Saturdays. So please come along and make use of them. Depending on the weather, they might be good for another couple of weeks.
