Beekeeping and Sweet Honey at Wonalancet Honey Bee Co. Story and Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper
tive hives, Athena is well aware there are not many places around to purchase beekeeping equipment. She knew a shop would be appreciated by beekeepers and indeed that has been the case. “I opened in the spring of this year and it’s been successful thus far,” she explains. “Beekeepers have been coming in daily and are excited to see we carry hard-to-find supplies.” Non-beekeepers are stopping by as well and Athena loves to chat with them about honey and bees, the mysterious creatures that produce the sweet honey. And speaking of honey, if you love this food from nature, the shop has a large variety of honeys in large to small quantities. “We have medicinal buckwheat honey, and it has been quite popular,” Athena says. “And we carry bee pollen which is also hard to find.” Many would be puzzled as to what bee pollen looks like and why anyone would wish to purchase it. Athena points to a shelf in the shop full of charming little jars full of a product that looks rather like wheat germ. “It is helpful with allergies and many people sprinkle it (bee pollen) on yogurt.” The shop has many varieties of honey, such as clover honey and organic wildflower honey. There is honey from Hawaii, which is also popular with customers, among others. It is brought here because Athena lived in Hawaii
The world of honeybees is extremely interesting. The hardworking bees exist and work quietly, virtually unknown to most of us. They toil hard and they produce a sweet honey that so many people love. It is this mysterious world that fascinates beekeepers. More and more these days, people are taking up the hobby of beekeeping, but it requires skill, knowledge and supplies. That is where Athena Contus and her shop, Wonalancet Honey Bee Co., come in. She is a beekeeper who was already involved in a kayak business in Ossipee (on Rt. 16). There was available space in the shop on the second floor and she realized it would make a great spot for a beekeeping supply shop. Athena took up beekeeping because, as she says, “I needed a chance to be outside. And I love honey.” She adds that when she was helping clean out her mother’s home she came across a book she had as a child about beekeeping. Perhaps that was a sign to point Athena in the direction of beekeeping which led to the shop and helping others with beekeeping. Once she had decided to take up beekeeping, Athena enlisted the support of beekeepers in Maine and New Hampshire. She realized right away that there was a big learning curve when it came to beekeeping and one must have knowledge to do it property. Mentors are very helpful – and necessary. Supplies from the wooden boxes that become the homes of the honeybees to the necessary protective suits
beekeepers wear, would be required as well. Because she has been a beekeeper for seven years with a number of ac-

in the news of dwindling numbers of bees. When asked to explain how the bee colonies live and work, Athena outlines how the life of an average honeybee revolves around the queen bee. The community of bees and how they work and communicate is fascinating. If you thought honeybees were just stinging insects, Athena will explain how these wonderful creatures are so much more than that. (And by the way, they do not sting unless necessary because when a honeybee stings someone, the bee dies which is counterproductive to the overall survival of the colony.) Those who wish to learn about becoming a beekeeper should stop by Wonalancet Honey Bee Co. for information on how to get started. Athena can point out supplies that are needed and where to go for further education on beekeeping. And for those who just want some wonderful honey for cooking, or to sweeten tea or coffee, or for gift giving, the shop has it all when it comes to honey. (Wonalancet Honey Bee Co. is open weekdays from 10 am to 4 pm. It is located at 1805 Rt. 16 in Center Ossipee. Call 733-7736 or visit www.whbee. com.)

Other products in the well-stocked shop include beeswax, and candles from Fred Martin of Wolfeboro, lip balm, High Mowing organic garden seeds, t-shirts, caps and even chef ’s aprons with the Wonalancet Honey Bee logo, as well as a variety of teas and honey in a number of flavors. These things appeal to the general public, but it is the specialized beekeeping supplies that are appreciated by those who work with bees and gather honey. The other side of the upstairs area is dedicated to beekeeping supplies, including hive wooden components made for Athena by Swift River Wood. Jars in a variety of sizes, bee’s wrap, beekeeping tools from disposable gloves to bee brushes, beehive frames and wax foundations are among the items that beekeepers find helpful. With the shop so close by, there is no need to travel out of the area for supplies. As well as all the products in the shop, the chance to chat with Athena about bees is fascinating. She says many people are getting interested in honeybees because of the awareness

Garvin Gallery Five presents the watercolors of Joyce Desmarais for the month of August Joyce Desmarais was a Rhode Island resident until she relocated with her husband to the Mt. Washington Valley in 1986. While living in Rhode Island, she worked as an investment officer at a prominent, self-administered real estate investment trust in Providence. In addition, she was a trustee of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is located in Washington, DC. Within the past few years, she has undertaken the joyous challenge to achieve her long-awaited goal to become a watercolor artist. Joyce is a juried member of the Mt. Washington Valley Arts Association. Joyce has exhibited in the MWVAA Gallery and at the Met in North Conway, NH. During 2014, she organized, and was one of four artists presenting their work at two prestigious Mt. Washington Valley venues: The Art Expo at The Snowvillage Inn in Eaton, New Hampshire and Art at The Darby at The Darby Field Inn in Albany, New Hampshire where she continues to show her
work. Joyce recently participated in Art at the Gafney 2015 in Sanbornville, New Hampshire. Joyce exhibits framed original watercolors, watercolor prints, sleeved prints and note cards. Her work is currently available in many art venues throughout New Hampshire and Maine. Joyce can be reached at rajodes@ gmail.com or contacted through the Garvin Gallery Five through the end of August. The Garvin Gallery Five continues to showcase the art of Norman Royle, Peter Abate, Betty Brown, Darlene Bean, Gabe Smith, Heather MacLeod, Josef Keller, Judy Brenner, JP Goodwin, Ken Eason, Madelyn Albee and Sharon Theiling. The Gallery is located on the second floor of the historic Garvin Building across from the Gafney Library and Town Hall. The Gallery can be contacted through its Face Book page at: www. facebook.com/GarvinGalleryFive.
On behalf of the Gafney Library Board of Directors, Library Director Berrie Donovan (right) presents “Cupcake Lady” fundraiser Cindy Jacobs (left) with a copy of Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book in appreciation for Cindy’s fundraising efforts.
The Cupcake Lady Sanbornville resident Cindy Jacobs proposed earlier in the summer to raise $1,000 for the Gafney Library’s capital fund by selling her homemade cupcakes every Saturday throughout the summer. Over time Cindy became known as the “Gafney Cupcake Lady” and drew a crowd every Saturday morning providing several gourmet style cupcakes – vanilla cupcake with lemon curd filling and raspberry cream ganache frosting; toasted pecan sticky buns; peanut butter cupcake with chocolate frosting; apple caramel cupcakes with caramel swirl and cinnamon whipped cream – to a waiting line of people. On Saturday August 1, Cindy met
her goal of selling over $1,000 worth of cupcakes at $3 each. Many folks were generous enough to give more than the $3 to the popular fundraising effort. In appreciation for her hard work and kindness, the Gafney Board of Directors purchased Cindy her own copy of Martha Stewart’s Cupcake book, the same book Cindy had been checking out from the Gafney frequently to find flavorful cupcake recipes for her Saturday sales. Cindy will continue with her cupcake sales at the Gafney in Sanbornville on Saturday mornings from 9 am until they disappear. For more information call the Gafney Library at 522-3401.

The Effingham Historical Society announces historic ornament The Effingham Historical Society has announced the Historic Effingham ornament series. Highlighting 10 historic structures in the Town of Effingham— one each year—the series is designed as a fundraiser, with 50 percent of the proceeds from the sale of each ornament going toward the preservation and restoration of the featured building. Hampshire Pewter will produce the ornaments at their Somersworth NH facility. Hampshire Pewter utilizes a centuries-old hand-casting method to create beautiful pewter products from a lead-free, specialized Queen’s Metal formula. In 2015, the ornament will highlight the Historic Effingham Town Hall located at 30 Town House Road in Center Effingham. Originally constructed as the New England Masonic Charitable Institute between 1858 and 1861 by the Charter Oak Lodge #58 of Free & Accepted Masons, it housed the Effingham town offices for more than a century, and is currently the home of the Effingham Public Library. The Charter Oak Lodge still meets on the second floor, as they have continuously since 1861. The ornaments sell for $16.00 each. Pre-paid orders are being accepted now through September 17. Order forms may be obtained at the Effingham Historical Society, the Effingham Preservation Society, the Effingham Public Library, or Ye Olde Sale Shoppe during regular meetings or business hours. In addition, an order form may be obtained by emailing the Society at effinghamhistoricalsociety@gmail.com, not-
ing “Historic Ornament Series” in the subject line. All orders must be mailed to the Effingham Historical Society at the address noted on the order form or dropped off at the Effingham Historical Society during a meeting or program. No orders can be accepted by any other organization. Orders placed in advance will be available for pickup at the Effingham Elementary School PTO Craft Fair to be held on Sat., November 28. In addition, orders can be delivered, free of charge, to locations within a 10-mile radius of the Effingham Historical Society building or shipped, via US Priority Mail, within the United States. PLEASE NOTE: No orders will be delivered or shipped sooner than Mon., November 30. For more information on this ornament series, contact Sheila Jones at 539-4071 or via email at effinghamhistoricalsociety@gmail.com. Founded in 1953, the Effingham

Strafford Wind Symphony Comes to the Area The Friends of the Wolfeboro Community Bandstand welcome the Strafford Wind Symphony back to Cate Park on Sat., August 22, for the next show in the free summer concert series. The group returned to the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee last summer after an absence of a few years and is set to delight the crowd with patriotic numbers as well as a mix of traditional music for wind ensemble. The Symphony is a 55-member group that meets weekly to rehearse in Rochester. The group includes musicians from all walks of life; members travel from Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire to share their passion for music. The group has performed numerous times at the Boston Festival of Bands, held annually at Faneuil Hall Marketplace each June, and is also
a big supporter of National Music in our Schools Month, where the group performs concerts that are specifically geared toward young musicianship and often open up the stage to share with young musicians. In that same vein, the ensemble also opens its membership to talented high school students who want to broaden their musical horizons.
August Art Exhibit at Gafney Library A unique, collaborative exhibit by artist Matt Wyatt and his four-year-old daughter, Ava Wyatt, is featured at the Gafney Library in Sanbornville during August. Matt Wyatt is the president and cofounder of the Rochester Museum of Fine Arts and Chair of the Commission for Arts & Culture for the City of Rochester. He studied at the New Hampshire Institute of Art and has been featured in a variety of venues including Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC; Art Current in Provincetown, MA; Carnegie Hall in NYC; the Gatehouse Gallery in Tamworth, NH and Diane von Furstenberg Theater. His work was recently referenced in Quarry Books’ Art Lab for Kids series. Wyatt works primarily in acrylics, oil, and cut paper
collage. Wyatt’s most recent works are currently in the Gafney and are skillfully assisted by four-year- old Ava. Titles include Cat and Mouse, Yellow with Figures, Green Spot and Yellow Living Room. The blending of adult design and child-like technique is unusual and seem to belong together on the individual pieces that feature both artists. This exhibit would interest children as well as adults and may be viewed at the Gafney during open hours of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 1 to 7 pm and Friday and Saturday 9 am to 12:30 pm. For questions, call the library at 522-3401.

Writing (and Saving) History Story and Photos by Kathi Caldwell-Hopper Roy Bubb is a storyteller. Sit with him for more than a few minutes, and Roy can’t help relaying stories from the past – his past, the pasts of other people and places and the human-interest stories of years gone by. As a retired teacher, Roy is very comfortable talking with people. After all, he spent much of his adult career teaching others. From children to college-age students, Roy made a career of passing on knowledge. His ability as a storyteller is a very
good thing in his retired life as a writer. And, if one is to write, one must be able to do research and also speak with people. Roy seems to really enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories, which also helps with his history writing. Roy spends his summers in the Ossipee/Silver Lake. He has a cottage on the lake and a historic home in Ossipee that is now for sale. (Roy says he purchased and restored the circa 1810 Cape because he loves history and he felt someone should save the home. “I always wanted to own a Cape and this one needed restoring. It was livable

but I restored it to its former style.) “I’ve been summering in the area for 35 years,” he says. “I love old New England things and I love the mountains and lakes in the area.” Originally from western New York state, Roy grew up in the little town of Holley, New York. His father was a farmer and Roy was one of eight kids. Life on a farm in those days meant a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun too. Roy has many wonderful memories of growing up among his siblings in the country. “I’m the storyteller in my family,” he comments. “I write things down for the family and I eventually had my stories printed.” Indeed, Roy wrote the family history and memories so his nieces and nephews and future generations could have information on those that came before them. A local historical society heard about it and with Roy’s help, had his remembrances published. The book was titled Memories of Manning Corner and it is a charming book about growing up in a simpler time in the country. The book has sold well, probably because many people can recognize the places Roy writes about. Roy was a long time docent at the Madison Historical Society, which is near his Silver Lake summer place. (Roy would likely advise that if you want to learn more about the history of a town, go to its historical society.) Historical societies are the places local people turn to when doing family history and often, the place that receives donations of antiques and old documents when families are cleaning out a house.
As a docent at the Madison Historical Society, Roy saw some charming landscape paintings that made quite an impression on him. “No one seemed to know who had painted the pictures because they weren’t signed,” Roy recalls. “I was told a local woman had some of the paintings as well.” Out of curiosity to learn more, Roy visited the woman. She was the key that began to unlock the fascinating story of Charles Hunt, a prolific but virtually unknown artist. Part of writing about history is the thrill of the hunt, and Roy was now on the trail of information about the artist. “If you want to know about history, you go talk to the oldest people in a town,” he explains. “But no one knew Hunt or remembered him.” Over time, Roy found out that Hunt grew up in the Madison area. He was born in 1852 and died in 1930. Hunt’s father ran a mill; his grandfather owned a chair factory. Hunt’s father later moved his family to Nashua, probably seeking a better and more financially secure life. Roy discovered that Hunt started painting at about age 18 or 19. His skill grew over time and he painted many scenes of the White Mountains. (Roy considers Hunt among the prestigious group of artists known as the White Mountain painters.) Like everyone, Hunt had to make a living, and he painted the borders and ornate designs on Singer Sewing Machines. Roy also unearthed that

• History Continued from page 14 Hunt had a photography studio where he sold his paintings. However, Hunt remained largely obscure and Roy says he could find no one in Nashua who remembered the artist. He did discover that when Hunt passed away, his family saved some of his artwork but many things were discarded. What was kept was spread around to Hunt’s Madison relatives. (Hunt never married.) “I think he was probably a loner and quite shy,” Roy surmises. With all he had discovered, and having the experience of viewing many of Hunt’s beautiful landscapes, Roy knew he wanted to write a book on the artist’s life. Titled Visions from a White Mountain Palette, The Life and Times of Charles A. Hunt, the book offers a look at the life of a dedicated artist who continued to paint his entire lifetime. Why does Roy like Hunt’s painting work so much? “I love his pastoral paintings because they remind me of my family farm. I love it that the paintings are of the White Mountains.” The paintings are done with great skill, although it is unknown if Hunt
was self taught or schooled by another artist. To call Hunt an artist of the White Mountain School of painters is quite an honor, but it is a valid recognition. Roy knows the skill of the artist ranks him among the respected artists who spent years painting the beauty of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Roy met a number of Hunt’s family members and they became close friends. The family gave him what information they could about Hunt, such as that a nephew of the artist drove him around by car so that he could paint various scenes in the area. “Hunt must have loved the White Mountains and he stuck with his art. I think he really loved to paint,” Roy surmises. Roy has another book under his belt as well, and it is about the old summer homes of the Silver Lake area. The idea came about when Roy was visiting with a local couple, the Shackfords. They told him about caretaking the area summer home of the famous poet e. e. cummings and his wife. Roy realized the wealthy people that summered in the area often came without their servants; thus, the job of cooking, cleaning and caretaking fell to local folks. The wealthy and sometimes famous
Page 15
people who summered in the Silver Lake area wanted privacy. They were not in the area to socialize at yacht clubs and they lived quietly at their summer estates. Roy knew he wanted to write a book about the summer homes in the area and also about the original owners of the homes and the locals who constructed the homes. Once again, Roy’s ability to do research was helpful. He visited many local summer residents and found out a great deal. “The houses were not little cottages, but rather large homes, and they were built by local people.” The homes have a somewhat similar style – they are rustic, large, and often the beams are left exposed as part of the rustic country look. Some have fieldstone fireplaces. “I certainly can’t pick a favorite of the homes I wrote about, because they are all great in their own way,” Roy says. The book, titled Among the Giant Pines, The Century-Old Summer Homes of Silver Lake, is a wonderful book about a fascinating subject. Amazingly, Roy adds that he does not sit at a computer to write his books but rather does his research and writes in longhand in notebooks. These days
he is working on stories of his life and things that have happened to him along the way. He chats easily about his life as a teacher and some of the students who made lasting and positive impressions on him. As he talks, he paints a picture with words of visiting one student at his home. The very poor child lived in a bare-bones apartment with very little. Roy not only relays the story, but even though it happened years ago, he describes the floors, walls, the rice cooking on the stove, the darkness of the space and more as if it all took place yesterday. His work as a teacher changed the lives of many students and helped them on their way. And Roy’s passion for writing and history are now bringing the past and its interesting people alive for readers all over the area. Watch for his next book, which is sure to paint pictures of the past with words as skillfully as Charles Hunt once painted scenes with his paintbrush.
