Tending to the hives requires going up every two weeks during the months of April through September, looking after the bees and making sure everything is in working order. \u201cMy most important job is just being a good bee mom,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s all about caring for the bees and using best management practices in hopes of them surviving the winter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like Lechner, Gilligan had also been tending to two hives on his roof\u2014until this year. \u201cMy bees last year\u2014because it was my first time doing it\u2014they didn\u2019t survive the winter,\u201d he says. \u201cBut it gets sort of addictive. When you\u2019re working up there, and you\u2019re finished with the two hives, you wish you had another one.\u201d After some thoughtful reflection on how he could improve, Gilligan decided to take on another hive.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t really do anything as beekeepers,\u201d he says. \u201cWe try and keep the hives clean and kill the mites and give them a place to live and all that, but it\u2019s not like I make the honey. It\u2019s just pure nature at its finest. And I\u2019m doing it here on the roof.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for Gilligan, their three new queens\u2014Bar-Bee Streisand, Bar-Bee Stanwyck and Bar-Bee Wawa\u2014aren\u2019t wasting time. He has already harvested 35 pounds of honey from his first hive, and next year he plans to add a fourth.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_45680\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-45680\" class=\"size-full wp-image-45680\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes-1024x489.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes-810x387.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Climate-Column-Honey-Martini-Honey-Pancakes-1140x544.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-45680\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Honey martini and honey pancakes<\/p><\/div>\n<p>According to Gilligan, each queen comes with a colony of roughly 15,000 bees. In the span of a few months, that number has already grown to about 60,000 per hive. That may seem like a lot, but as Gilligan puts it, that number is \u201ca mere drop in the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to pollinators, a little bit goes a long way. \u201cWithout those efforts, we wouldn\u2019t have these bees,\u201d he says. \u201cThe more people that do it, the better chance we have of keeping them healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For years, the USDA has acknowledged that our pollinators, primarily honeybees, are responsible for roughly one in every three bites of food we consume. They also increase the value of our nation\u2019s crops by billions of dollars each year. Unfortunately, the decades-long decline in their population means more people need to step up.<\/p>\n<p>And rooftop hives are just one way to go about it. Both The Henderson and the Renaissance have even gone so far as to add pollinator gardens to the grounds outside. \u201cWe\u2019re bringing awareness to the public by showing that we need to care for our pollinators,\u201d Lechner says. \u201cIt\u2019s about getting people to understand how important they are, and knowing there are small things each of us can do to make a big difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/CenterforHoneybeeResearch.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CenterforHoneybeeResearch.org<\/a> to learn more about what you can do to protect our pollinators.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When travelers check in to The Henderson\u2014a quaint inn tucked away in the mountains of Hendersonville\u2014one thing they\u2019re sure to notice is an outfit resembling a hazmat suit straight out of a science fiction film.
