In the preface to this book, author Keith Delaplane says of his first book on beekeeping, "Its pages opened to me a golden world of honey bees and beekeeping and guided my stumbling steps that first spring season. My story is but one of thousands who have passed through the door opened by Dadant's little book ." That "little book" was the 1968 edition of Charles P. Dadant's 1917 classic First Lessons in Beekeeping. Dadant's book and its succeeding editions have been America's first stop for beginning beekeepers for over 90 years. For the latest edition, Delaplane honors the tradition of sticking to the basics, while fully engaging the new realities of beekeeping in the 21st century. Here in this book is everything you need to know to become a successful beginning beekeeper.

BLITHEWOLD MANSION, GARDENS and ARBORETUM ADMISSION FOR 4

A fusion of architecture, landscape architecture, horticulture, and decorative arts, Blithewold is among the few late 19th and early 20th century New England estates that retain their integrity and authenticity down to the details of plant materials and interior furnishings, family archives and artifacts.

The gardens, the Mansion, and outbuildings are, together, an important antecedent in the development of the 20th century New England country home landscape. Bessie described her vision for “a park with distinctive features, using the house as a centre.” The original aesthetic intent was established in the Great Lawn and surrounding gardens and in the name that they gave to it, Old English for “happy woodland”. It was deepened by the design of Blithewold II after the first mansion was destroyed by fire in 1906. Both the Mansion layout, with its kitchen, laundry, and other conveniences, and the 1909 Garage, with its fueling and repair facilities, reflect the sensitive adaptation of medieval and 19th century precedents to meet modern needs. These buildings joined the 18th and 19th century site elements to create the sense of a family retreat that had evolved over many decades and two generations.

CAROLYN'S SAKONNET VINEYARD TOUR AND TASTING FOR 6

Founded in 1975, Sakonnet Vineyard rests on 150 acres of land, 30 of which have produced our award-winning wines for over four decades. Our grapes are grown locally, picked by hand, and barrel-aged in French, Hungarian, Russian and American oak.

Nestled between two waterways, Sakonnet has distinct maritime conditions. Cool air combines with a humid subtropical climate—rarely found in northern America. These conditions foster a longer ripening season and a later-than-average harvest.

Sakonnet's soils are more mineral-based with fewer nutrients, which allows for heartier, deeper-rooted vines. The grapes are slow to develop, and mature into a fruit with low sugar levels and high acidity—maximizing freshness and a depth of flavor.

Early-morning winds blow in from the water, lowering temperatures and wicking away the morning dew. Salty sea breezes, occasional rains, and rolling fog all lend unmistakable, striking flavors to the grapes at New England's oldest vineyard.

ADD WORM POOP to your gardening routine!

Adding castings to your soil will increase microbiological activities, helping to break down fertilizers into a form the plant can utilize, as well improving soil structure. Castings can be used alone as a nutrient-rich top dressing, blended with soil to stimulate plant growth or mixed with water to create manure tea. In combination with other organic ingredients like peat moss, castings are one of the many factors that make Black Gold from 

Worm castings will not burn your plant’s tender roots. Additionally, there is virtually no odor when you use castings, making them useful in both outdoor and indoor applications. Just remember – your flower beds, vegetable gardens, container gardens, flowering baskets and houseplants are anxiously awaiting the arrival of worm castings in their lives.
