On Friday we had our surveyors out at the Hadley field to mark the boundaries of the future Bee Science Farm in Hadley. Over 7 acres were marked out, and even though there are corn and potatoes growing, it is clear that many native and domesticated bees are visiting the various existing wildflowers and weeds. The North side of the farm is located next to a busy road, but is well shielded by a stream and a lot of overgrown bittersweet - some that we intend to remove to try to save the trees being choked by that invasive vine. Along the road there were numerous honeybees already present, though we don't know the location(s) of any local hives. The day was partly overcast and not too hot, so the work went smoothly and comfortably! We are thankful for the great job Surveyors Eaton & Associates of Hadley performed. Were there any surprises? Yes! The property seems much bigger than we expected, probably because you cannot access the North end from the South due to the stream
"Bee Science Farm" in Hadley is owned by Soundwave Research Laboratories, Inc. a Massachusetts Corporation that operates a for-profit agricultural farm engaged in the development and production of insect byproducts and pollinators and important insect population data technology for use by farms, grove owners and the surrounding community.
