• Sholan Farms
  • One location for my hives.  This working orchard is less than 2 miles from my house and provides great nectar sources for the bees.   The orchard is located on Leominster's Bee Hill, and is maintained by a dedicated group of volunteers. The farm has these great nectar sources:

    Apple Blossom Dandelion Milkweed Queen Anne's Lace Sumac Buckwheat Black Locust Goldenrod White Clover Red Clover

• Broad Meadow Brook
  • I have one hive situated in Worcester, MA on my in-laws property. Their property is adjacent to this Urban Wildlife Sanctuary. The nectar sources here are:

  Mint White Clover Red Maple Sumac Goldenrod Aster Purple Loosestrife Vetch Clethra

• Pack 38
  • The Cub Scout pack I serve currently as a Board Member. Holy Family of Nazareth in Leominster is the Chartered Organization that sponsors Pack 38. 
    Pack 38 is sponsoring a butterfly release for Sholan Farms at the Apple Blossom Festival.  The butterflies can be released in memory of someone and is a great way to help out both Sholan Farms and Pack 38.  Please see the Pack 38 website for a form to order a
    butterfly.  You can join us at the Festival and release your butterfly.
