“We took a step towards implementing urban beekeeping legislation within the City.  This morning, we submitted a motion that instructs various departments to begin exploring the possibility of allowing urban beekeeping within the City. I have included a copy of the the submitted motion for your benefit.  This is the first of many steps in the legislative process, but we wanted to share our progress and keep you up to date.”

HONEYLOVER OF THE MONTH: Michael
RESCUED FROM: Bird house in their own backyard!

“I’m so happy to have come across Honeylove. We’ve had bees in our birdhouse for several years and I didn’t think much of it. Until they got crowded and swarmed, and swarmed again. For a moment I thought after the third swarm maybe they shouldn’t live here. But but now we all do, and happily. I don’t think they miss the little birdhouse.” - Michael

“Michael and his bees are some of HoneyLove’s favorites… for the same reasons: good-natured, loyal, and productive!” - Rob McFarland (HoneyLove)

If you happened to see our observation hive at our Mar Vista Green Garden Showcase, you saw some of Michael’s very happy bees in action.  Our observation hive will be back for your viewing pleasure at our booth at the upcoming TreePeople’s Green City Fair on May 5.
