Linck Apiaries, Inc.

A wonderful woman posted about honey bees needing help and the wonderful Richard Linck from Linck Apiaries rescued them! Part of our mission at Willowdale Bend ...is to help save the bees. If anyone comes across honey bees please let me know and I will contact him. He has bees on our property and doing what we can for the preservation of them as well as the birds, bats, butterflies and whatever other wildlife that wants to join our habitat at Willowdale Bend. Come see our other rescues flemish rabbits named Pepper and Ginger, kunikuni pigs named Pork and Beans, calves, a peacock named Blueberry, ducks, geese and our gigantic bull we rescued 5 years ago.
