The apiary on St-Bernard island has its origins in a swarm of bees that settled on the eastern slope of the garden in 1920. Composed then of five hives, the apiary operated by the Grey Nuns was still modest. Community chronicles state that \u2018these bees, in addition to serving to fertilize the orchard, provided honey for the manor staff\u2019. The apiary was expanded to fifty hives in 1947. A laboratory was built at the same time to allow the sisters to extract honey.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to Ch\u00e2teauguay, two apiaries operated by the Grey Nuns produced honey at Ferme St-Charles (in Montreal) as well as at the M\u00e9tairie Saint-Joseph (in Nicolet).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1136\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1136\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1135\" src=\"https:\/\/sgm.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/L004_rucher_01-700x556.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"715\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1136\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ASGM, L004, CFEC-01, Ressources of the St-Bernard island, apiary, n.d.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1134\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1134\" style=\"width: 719px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1133\" src=\"https:\/\/sgm.qc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/L004_extraction-miel-700x876.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"719\" height=\"900\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1134\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">CFEC-05, Ressources of the St-Bernard island, honey extraction, n.d.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 8pt;\">ASGM, F123, Ch\u00e2teauguay, sisters beekeepers, around 1960 :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SIFfZjKr9kI?rel=0\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On this World Biodiversity Day, we wanted to tell you about the work of the Grey Nuns beekeepers in Ch\u00e2teauguay.
