The Sun Hive

9/20/2014

Isn't it beautiful? The Sun Hive is a design based on the traditional European skep hive, with a goal to create a hive that focuses on colony health rather than honey production. Milkwood Permaculture of Sydney, Australia, has more photos and information on the development of this lovely beehive.

This Sun Hive is on my wish list...and I'll let you know when I have mine up and running!

I spent most of the 1980s and 90s in Alaska
flying airplanes, floating wild rivers, winter camping, raising a wild child, and living off the grid :^)

With my MAT in Advanced Inquiry for Biological Sciences, I've taught K-12 students from north of the Arctic Circle to the Puget Sound Ecoregion, garnering over thirty years experience as a classroom teacher, learning mentor, and private tutor.

Here in Seattle, I am an advocate for environmental stewardship, place-based education, and outdoor play. I share my enthusiasm for birds, bugs, and backyards as a writer/photographer for Pacific Horticulture.
