Beekeeping at Strathmere: Nature's Helpers

We introduced honeybees to boost crop pollination, starting with just a few hives and growing to as many as eleven. Our organic management practices and diverse, native-rich plantings have attracted numerous pollinators, both domestic and wild. These busy workers are essential for our vegetable and fruit production. As a bonus, each hive yields about 60 pounds of honey annually, sweetening our commitment to sustainable farming.
