As far as it knows, Connexus Energy’s solar garden is the first in the state to have an apiary for honey bees.
The honey produced by the bees in 15 hives will not be commercially sold, but given to Connexus customers who have subscribed to receive a portion of their household energy from the solar garden on the Ramsey campus. Jars of “solar honey” will also be included in gift baskets that are donated to local fundraising causes, according to Samantha Neral, Connexus Energy spokesperson.
