Each year, our Work Parties are full of projects, folks from all over, swimming in the lake and river, eating blueberries and giant collective meals, and meeting our friends and allies in Washington County. In past years, we've taken on restoration projects at the Grange (everything from sanding the floors to roofing to interior and exterior painting), gardening at the Clark Perry House (where we live and work), and major sewing projects. Volunteers have helped us out with paint scraping, poster rolling, patch cutting, wood gathering, coordinating events, and even restoring a hundred pairs of antique rollerskates!
Each week will revolve around one of our graphics campaigns including field trips, guest speakers, full-fledged beehive presentations at our community center, and collaborative image making workshops.
We will also be spending time participating physically in manual work shares (working on the grange, working on beehive infrastructure, collective living tasks, working outside in the sunshine, and helping out members of the community), as well as skill-shares, fires, games, and cooking for everyone!
Our work party has a five day rotation each week with weekends off. This means during our time off bees and volunteers will enjoy bicycle rides to the coast, hikes on rocky Maine shores, games, relaxing (perhaps in our wood-fired sauna), and all kinds of adventure!
