Melissa Bees – Pollinating the Earth with Gardens and Hives
Jeff and Ketrina Jerome recently opened Grow Organics in Hood River, Oregon. It’s a darling store full of DIY kits and equipment to outfit local residents with everything they’ll need to get started with organic growing and not to mention beekeeping! Jeff asked if I would teach beekeeping classes and already we’ve spawned a new generation of holistic beekeepers in the Columbia Gorge. Jeff and Ketrina showed me their property and their vision of having a bee garden. Last Sunday I delivered a hive full of Carniolans to kick off their project. Congratulations, Grow Organics on your grand opening. Here’s to healthy landscapes and hives!
