Great #volunteers #WorkParty today!
We got lots done together. Orchard has no more fallen fruits for now. We got a bunch of weeding & pruning done too.

Learn more & join us at future orchard work parties or come out for free tours sometime!

I met 3 people who are also from Vietnam today too. Julie & her daughter are from South Vietnam - they live in a rental here that's only 5 minutes from our home. Phanh is from North Vietnam & works on a farm in Metchosin. She's moving out to live on the farm soon, with her husband.

I also found out that River, the orchard coordinator, knows my good friend, Lyrica & her partner Talia too. They met at local Queer Crafternoon gatherings. Lyrica regularly attends those & River teaches some crafts at them. I'm going to attend some of them in near future as it's open to LGBTQ2S comrades & a few friends have invited me to go.

At #WellandCommunityOrchard they have a wall of #BeeCondos for #NativeBees / #pollinators 🐝💗🐝
These tiny homes are used by #BlueOrchardMasonBees & #LeafcutterBees & #SandWasps & some other native bees.

Honeybees provide us with honey & beeswax but they aren't native here.

#VancouverIsland is home to at least 30 different native bee species. Almost all of these native bees are solitary.
