The New Macomb Honey Bee Club Apiary Deck
On April 16th several members of the club met at the apiary location to build a new deck
for the bee colonies. In about 3 hrs., we were done! It was a Great Team effort and some
building skills were even learned in the process. The materials for the deck were donated
by a local small business and I repurposed wood from my deck to build the benches.
