New workers
Our greenhouse tomatoes are starting to flower, but it is too early for there to be dependable pollinators flying around our farm, so this year we bought some bumblebee hives to live in the greenhouses for a few weeks.

A somewhat bee-phobic Peter carefully opens the hive
If this works it means our first flush of tomatoes will be earlier and bigger. We are excited to see how this works!
