Neighbors,
I'm a beekeeper with hives just north of Stanton Park.? My friend Del keeps bees on the Hill too. We're having a honey sale tomorrow. We'll be at??(corner of 11th & C, NE) on Saturday from?9-1pm?
Stop by for a free taste of our honey from my hives at Lexington Place, Congressional Cemetery and Del's honey from Capitol Hill and from Lederer Garden.? Del and I harvest the same day, but our honey tastes different because of the different blossoms our bees forage from. Put your name in a raffle and if you win, you can join?Del and?me for a beekeeper experience. We will dress you up in our protective beekeeping outfits and you can help us inspect a hive, harvest or perhaps extract honey depending on when we do it. You may be asked (but not forced) to hold in your hands a frame of 3000 honeybees and look for the queen.
If you can't make the sale don't worry - you can always put in an order for honey at?.? I do free deliveries to the 20002 and 20003 zip codes.
Long live the queen!

You, too, can help the trees
There lots of dead/dying street trees in our neighborhood. Since we need more trees --?
3 billion or a trillion new trees -- one of my neighbors (Johanna Bockman)?decided to put mulch and water on street trees over one year -- the city takes care of trees less than one year old -- to help strengthen their roots and leaves for the climate emergency. Celebrate the trees today by putting some water on them:?

Apartment for rent on Capitol Hill/Eastern Market SE
Thought I'd post this here in case folks know of anyone who might be interested.? Thanks, Antonia
---
We just fully renovated our basement?apartment?(800 sq ft). It is 2-bedroom, 1 bath. A few pictures attached. It is perfect for a single person or a couple with a guest bedroom/office. Smaller bedroom is also fine for a small child. However, it is NOT ideal for a 2 roommate situation.?
It has a brand new kitchen with extensive granite counter-tops (w/overhang to work/eat at) and cabinets, brand new stainless steel appliances, and a fairly new full size washer/dryer. It also has a gated area in the front where you can store bikes, and direct access to a back yard patio. Parking right in front on our street is rarely problem.?
It is 1 block from Lincoln Park and 4 blocks from Eastern Market and the metro.?
We are asking $2250/month plus utilities, internet/cable. We cover water/sewage.? No smoking, pets negotiable, 1- year lease, available immediately.
