The Buzz about Bees!

Clockwise, from top left: Mike Dahlberg scrapes fresh honey from the hive; Janie Provan and Jill McKenrick pose in their finest black and yellow with an observational hive; can you see the Queen Bee?; residents listen to the beekeeper

In this month's spirit of celebrating the environment, senior living residents swarmed to the Pines piano lounge for informational presentation, "The Buzz about Bees," with beekeeper, Mike Dahlberg. The husband of Brookline's Rehabilitation and Skilled Care Director of Community Relations, Brenda Dahlberg, Mike began keeping the insects a few years ago, and currently houses 15 hives on his property in nearby Howard, PA.

As part of the event, residents noshed on goat cheese, pear and honey crisps, fruit with honey glaze, and sipped on honey mint tea. Honey--straight from the hive--was also handed out. "The Buzz about Bees" was part of "Bee Day" at Juniper Village, where a sweet time was had by all!
