 Updates from around the club:

What's all the buzz about?

Over the past few weeks our wildflower bed beside the #27 Tees have blossomed. The Monarch Butterfly Garden Seed Mix has provided us with beautiful flower beds. These flower beds are not only beautiful to look at, they are providing an abundant about of nectar and pollen for the bees. The nectar is used by the bees as food and energy. The energy is used to get to and from their home. The pollen that is picked up from the flowers is used to feed the larva (baby bees) in the hives and the pollen will be spread throughout the flowerbed and will help the flowers with reproduction. The Bees need the flowers and the flowers need the bees. 

We can't wait to be able to provide University Park Country Club with their very own Honey! Keep an eye out for updates on when the honey will be available.
