Did you know a beehive has its own natural heat system? 🐝🔥

Our residents felt it firsthand when local beekeepers and master gardeners brought a live hive to BHV. They learned how bees work together and why they’re so important to our world. 🌎🌼

All-natural beeswax smells incredible, too! 🍯✨ (Thank you for bringing some, Mount Olive Bee Co!)

We’re grateful for community partners like Bill and Theresa with Tri-County Beekeeper’s Association and our master gardening friend Margaret for sharing their knowledge with our residents. 🐝🌿

✨ Our residents’ resin art is almost ready to shine! 😍

They added their personal touches, and we can’t wait to see the finished pieces once Genevieve works her magic.

A big thank you to Genevieve Burgess, director of operations at Niceville Slabs and Cookies and owner of Must Love Wood LLC, for guiding the process and helping make these creations possible. 💙

Happy Friday!🥳

Enjoy these photos from our happy hour last week! Although the party doesn't stop just because there's no event, the villages are poppin' with their own parties all the time!😆
