The Friends of Bahia Honda State Park, the parks Citizen Support Organization, funded another very important endeavor at the park this month. In early August park management was walking through the construction site at the Sandspur campground when they noticed some bee activity under the old camper’s bathhouse. Upon further inspection they realized it was a colony of honeybees. They knew the nest would have to be removed for construction to continue. We all know how valuable these pollinators are, so simply removing the nest would not do. Assistant Park Manager, Corliss Castro, contacted local beekeeper Jeff Bennett to inquire about nest relocation. Upon inspection, he said he could successfully remove and relocate the colony.  The Friends of Bahia Honda were more than happy to step up to the plate and fund this project. “We want to BEE everything We can BEE as a Citizen Support Organization” stated Friends President Vicki Weagley. Jeff called on his friend Adrian to assist. Adrian runs Gold Coast Wildlife and is known as The Bearded Beekeeper.
