🌞 Look What's Growing at the Cannery! 🌿

#CanneryGarden #SummerBloom #TomatoSeason #ZinniasAndMore #growlocal #Scape #EastCoastKin #Flowers
Summer is in full swing, and the growing season has brought a burst of life and color to the Cannery garden! From vibrant zinnias and elegant lilies to pollinator-friendly milkweed, there's something blooming around every corner. And of course, it wouldn’t be summer without the star of the season: tomatoes, ripening under the warm sun and almost ready for picking! 🍅 Come by, take a stroll, and see what’s growing. Nature is putting on quite a show! 🌼🌿🐝 Sunflower outside the cannery.

🐝 Bee Fact of the Day: Supersedure! 👑
Ever heard of supersedure in a beehive? It’s how bees peacefully replace an aging or underperforming queen.
For more info, check the Alt text.

#Beekeeping #Honeybees #Supersedure #QueenBee #BeeFacts #EastCoastKin #Bees #SaveThePollinators
When the workers sense their queen is not laying well, getting old, or giving off weak pheromones, they raise a new queen from a fertilized egg. Once the new queen is ready, she takes over, sometimes without drama, sometimes with a bit of a showdown. 💥Unlike a swarm, the colony doesn’t split. Everyone stays put and just transitions to their new ruler. It’s nature’s way of hitting the “refresh” button on leadership! Long live the queen… or at least, the next one! 👸🐝
