POLLINATOR EDUCATION
This is the Fox Farm Honey Bee Sanctuary at Thorn Preserve, 65 acres of protected meadow and riparian zone located at the foot of Overlook Mountain in Woodstock, New York. In 2015, in partnership with the Catskill Interpretive Center and the Woodstock Land Conservancy, Fox Farm Apiary installed a number of hives. The apiary and pollinator garden sit against the tree line at the back of the property and are protected by solar electric fence. All fencing, equipment and labor was donated by us to serve both the bees and the community. This apiary attracts the many visitors to Thorn Preserve and provides a focus for some of the walks and workshops we offer.

We truly love what we do! We are grateful for the opportunity to be of service to the bees and to our neighbors, to share our knowledge and to help foster an appreciation for the magical creature we know as the honey bee.
