Bees face a variety of predators, including bears, skunks, raccoons, and other mammals that may be attracted to the sweet smell of honey. An electric fence can help keep these animals at bay, preventing them from raiding the hives and potentially killing the bees. We installed a solar powered fence that will provide long-term protection for the farm's bee colonies.

We set the farm up with four healthy bee hives and provide ongoing hive management services, which include monitoring the health of the colonies, checking for pests and diseases, bee treatments, winterization, and harvesting honey among others. We are proud to serve Cold Brook Farm and provide them with a valuable resource for their agricultural needs.
