Turbo Farm Patch

Turbo has survived 13 thunderstorms, six windstorms, one hail storm, nine hard rains and a two-day infestation of little green worms that nobody could identify to become one of the most productive farm patchs at Cape Abilities this season. Congratulations.

Lawrence Bee

Lawrence is a very quiet bee with a dog sense of humor.

8 Grands Farm Patch

The year is almost over for this season's outdoor farm patches. This year 8 Grands produced good crops, particularly flowers, the farm workers say. And it weathered the recent Nor'easters a lot better than most patches.

Henry Bee

Henry is that rarity in local hives, a fine Irish bee who even buzzes with a brogue. The other bees, who all have Detroit accents, like him well enough, but claim to have trouble understanding him sometimes because he has "a mouth full of clover."

Although they subsist entirely on sugar water, the bees do not have a weight problem They attribute this to all the exercise they get flying around.

A little known bee fact is that one out of every 100,000 bees grows an extra set of wings.

The financial problems in the last year appear to have had little impact on the bees. Bumble bees are among the most conservative of social insects and put most of their earnings in honey futures, which have held up well in the current market.

The bees are getting used to the shorter sunlight hours. This gives them more time to pursue their off-hour sports and cultural activities. Although some of them opt for just sleeping more.

Joel and Pat Lamb Bee

JPL, as she is known, is a very hard worker. She recently won Worker Bee of the Month for September and the month isn't even over yet.

Bee Bop Bee

Bop was extremely shy when he first came to the farm in August, but since then he has made many friends and is active in sports. His favorite is water polo, which the bees play in the greenhouse drains.
