INTERESTING PROJECT AND HONEY BEES ALSO LOVE MILK WEED!! 





<blockquote>

The magnificent migration of the Monarch butterfly, and indeed the survival of this iconic species, is in jeopardy. The Monarch butterfly depends on the existence of the milkweed plant, which is the Monarch caterpillar's only food source. For a variety of reasons, the milkweed plant is vanishing across America, which threatens the Monarch's survival. In conjunction with other similar efforts, the Monarch Project of Cape Cod will provide and help distribute milkweed seeds across this region to help rejuvenate the Monarch's migration. 





<blockquote>

The initial free distribution of seeds will take place Saturday, March 29 , 10 AM- 2PM at the Waquoit Congregational Church's Farmer's Market, 15 Parsons Lane, East Falmouth. 

For further information, please contact: 508-548-5269 or waquoitucc at comcast.net
