From the time I first ran for office over a decade ago, I’ve consistently heard the desire for family entertainment in New Bern. Last week, the board of alderman unanimously approved having a feasibility study performed to measure the viability of a facility to support our community. This study will provide valuable insight and recommendations as to what needs we have and what would be sustainable. Looking forward to the results and the next steps.

During the June Gap, Please Don’t Leave Out Fruit for Bees — Here’s What They Really Need 🐝🌼
As a beekeeper, I want to gently remind everyone: please don’t leave fruit out for bees, especially during the June Gap—the brief but dangerous period between spring and summer blooms when nectar sources become scarce. While offering fruit might seem like a kind gesture, it often ferments quickly in the sun, developing harmful bacteria that bees can carry back to the hive. This contaminated food can spoil their stored honey and even threaten the health of the entire colony.
If you truly want to help bees during this critical time, the best thing you can do is offer clean, safe water. Place a shallow dish outside filled with fresh water, adding small stones or twigs so bees can land safely without drowning.
To go one step further, consider adding a pinch of pink Himalayan sea salt. This natural salt is rich in vital minerals that bees instinctively seek—minerals that help regulate the hive’s internal temperature (kept around 90°F), ensuring proper brood care and honey production.
Please avoid feeding bees sugar or honey directly. It may seem helpful, but it can disrupt their natural behavior, weaken their immune systems, and even spread disease.
Supporting bees doesn’t require sugar—it requires awareness.
Water. Flowers. Protection. That’s what they truly need.
And especially during the June Gap, your kindness can make all the difference. 🌿💛🐝
