Dandelions are Bee-utiful 3rd Annual Contest for the Durham Lawn(s) with the Most Dandelions

As part of Durham’s Bee Friendly Program, the Agricultural Commission is sponsoring the 3rd Annual Contest to encourage town residents to both recognize and demonstrate the importance of dandelions for honeybees and other pollinators.

Town residents are invited to submit a photo(s) of their residential lawn where dandelions are either allowed -- or encouraged! -- to grow. In 2019 there were 12 participants.
This year we hope to double or triple this number. *

Send a photo(s) via e-mail to:
Lee Alexander
e-mail: leelaine-alex@comcast.net
mobile: 603-866-2822
Please include name, address, and phone number.

Each contest participant will receive a small (2 oz.) squeeze bottle of “Lee’s Bees” Wildflower Honey.
Based on a fair (but somewhat subjective) site evaluation, the lawn judged to have the highest density of dandelions will receive a large (16 oz.) squeeze bottle of honey.
