On February 22, 2023, Alachua County Commissioner Anna Prizzia spoke with the LWV of Alachua County Natural Resources Committee about how the increased surtax to support Wild Spaces & Public Places will be distributed; more generally on the preservation of environmental and agricultural lands in the county; and on the importance of local agriculture and the infrastructure to support it. A recording of the meeting is now available.
It takes twelve bees, each visiting about 150 flowers to withdraw nectar, to make a single teaspoon of honey (a quick Google search with the consensus of numerous honeybee organizations). Each bee will fly up to five miles to harvest from a good nectar source. Your LWV of Alachua County has been busy as bees. And that’s saying something!
