Bee Report - June 3, 2012

The Koski Store
We managed to install a wonderful old egg-yolk yellow (okay, honeybee yellow) wooden screen door, originally from the Koski Store (the original Willow Springs building) which had been left in one of the grounds' sheds. It was efficiently re-cut to fit and installed by Judi Vinni, who has been building willow furniture for years and is a fabulous woodworker and builder. 
The legendary door
We also finished the front walls, but we still didn't get to the electric fencing. We wanted to, but realized we didn't have the proper insulators for the 90-degree angle corners. Next week, after more consulting with the internet and searching for appropriate leftover and donated insulators and wire in our home sheds and garages, we plan to erect the electric fence. Yes!! (For those readers outside our area, electric fence is essential here to discourage visits by honey-loving bears.)
I love that everyone has an idea about how to make something work, like using an old screen door for a gate. How creative and unique is that!
