News and Special Events
Zoo and Solar Honey:
Peterborough Utilities partnered with Forster Apiary to supply honeybee hives at the Riverview Park and Zoo and Lily Lake Solar Farm. A healthy bee population is important to pollinate plants and sustain ecosystems.
This past year there were 20 beehives at the solar farm and 10 at the zoo. The beekeeper collected more than 2,500 kg of honey!
All proceeds from the sale of the wildflower honey goes to support the care of animals and improvements to exhibits and holdings.
Thank you to Peterborough Utilities Inc. and all who supported this sale for your generousity.
