Kinstone

Kristine and kinstone family It has been a great joy to keep bee hives at Kinstone again this year. Now that " the girls " are safely tucked in for their winter hibernation I have a chance to ponder what makes their lives thrive and certainly Kinstone is a place at the top of my gratitude list as a beekeeper and nature lover. Witnessing the restoration and revitalization of the land at Kinstone over the last five years since you began seems like a century not five years. Touring the prairie in full bloom a few months ago was spectacular and I saw more honeybees and native bees and butterflies than ever before in one small bit of restored prairie. I have also greatly appreciated many of the classes that I have participated in which are building up my repertoire of knowledge on building with stone, cordwood, ...classes I have never been able to find anywhere else. Everytime I visit I come away feeling like a new person ...grounded again in the beauty of the land and its critters , plants and stones...Life in abundance . Thank you is not enough but I have to start somewhere.
