Apiary Program

Our Goal

We work hands-on with our bees, provide pollination services to the Tribal Garden, and hope to harvest produced honey. We are always looking for interested Tribal Citizens to help with this endeavor!

Did you Know?

  • All worker honeybees are female, male honeybees or "drones" do very little in the hive
  • Bees defend their hive from predatory hornets and wasps by collectively overwhelming them and vibrating, cooking the predator
  • When honeybees swarm, they are least likely to sting potential aggressors as they don't have a 'home' to defend
  • Aside from the queen, most bees can only sting a single time
  • A queen bee is made by feeding a bee larvae 'royal jelly', a very nutrient rch jelly that alters the formation of the larvae to allow for distinct features
