About Meadowlily Farm: 

Meadowlily Farm is located in the middle of the Meadowlily Woods Nature preserve within the City of London. Meadowlily Nature Preserve was donated to Thames Talbot Land Trust (TTLT) by Carol and Rick Richardson, who wanted to ensure that their family’s land would be protected from future development. It is recognized as an Environmentally Significant Area by the City of London.  Academic Research in the Meadowlily Woods area documented over 60 archaeological sites dating from 9500 B.C to 1500 A.D and includes all types of sites from find spots, camps and villages.

Ontario Bee Rescue is a not-for-profit organization of over 100 volunteer beekeepers . We field several calls a day for bee rescues. Rescues involve driving many kilometers and spending several hours at a rescue site. The Honeybees survival depends on all of us. You can make a difference now. Any donation is very much appreciated. Thank You

Ontario Bee Rescue

Ontario Bee Rescue is a collective of 100 plus caring beekeepers located all over Ontario. We are not just beekeepers, we are Bee Activists!

We couldn’t live in a world without bees — as humans, we greatly rely on them (and all pollinators) for our food production. That’s why the work that Ontario Bee Rescue does is so important. We are dedicated to saving the honeybees and the humane removal and relocation of honeybee swarms and established honeybee colonies.
