| Bee-keeping Damina participates in an EU financed project run by the NordBi association. The project aims to save the endangered bee race Nordic bee from being extinct. Holmön lays 10 km from the main land and therefore comprise an isolated biotope where the Nordic bee can live without threats from other bee races. Read more about the Nordic Bee-project (in Swe). Vi started a pilot project with two small bee hives during 2007. That summer gave 17 kg honey. The question was if the bees would survive the harsh winter conditions and the long clod spring before the vegetation turned green again. Luckily we found out that the bees survived the winter and during the summer 2008 we increased the bee farm to six hives. The 2008 summer honey harvest was not as great as expected due to the poor summer. The bies in two hives did not survive the winter 2008/2009 and we started this season with four hives. It was, however, possible to split two of the hives so we had six hives the summer 2009. During 2010 we got more societes from the Nord-Bi project and could keep 11 hives during the winter 2010/11. We had, however, severe winter losses and had to reestablish the bee farm during summer 2011. We manage to raise 5 hives to keep the winter 2011/12.

| Management of the
Jongården
homestead The main house, which is made of full timber, was erected during 1860-ies by Johan, son of Pell-Pers. This occured when one of the eight major homesteads (Holmön 5) was split among the sons. The house is of a so called Västerbotten type. It is oriented in east-west, which is unusual for this type of houses that normally is oriented i north-south. The entrance is on the north side of the house. The kitchen is in the east and the drawing-room is in the west side of the bottom floor. During 1920 Johans son, Erik Johansson, built a new barn with cattle house north of the court yard. The old cattle house, west of the court yard, was rebuilt to baking house and storage. The court yard became surrounded with buildings in south, west and north. The entrance road comes from east and is situated about 80 m from Berguddsvägen. Bror Eriksson, son to Erik Johansson, renovated the main house in 1951 and built the entrance part, in which a small bathroom was built. The floor was insulated and an incinerator for water carried central heating was installed in the kitchen. A new wood fired stove was installed but the tiled stove in the drawing-room was unfortunately removed at that renovation. The incinerator and wood fired stove is still in use. Later the roof was plated and and the windows were changed in the kitchen, chamber and sleeping room at east on the second floor, i.e. the parts used during the winter. At 2003 the whole second floor was renovated. A big bathroom with sauna and laundry was built on top of the entrance. Two more bed room was built in the west part and the east bedroom was renovated. A general room was built in the middle of the second floor. A new greenhouse was erected to the growing season 2009 and in summer 2010, geothermal heating was installed. Bror Eriksson, the last farmer, was mainly sheep farmer and fisherman. To the homestead there are 38 ha land of which most is forest. The fields are used for grazing today, and sheep, cows and horses can be seen on the fields around the homestead. Extensive forestry is used to maintain the forest and for supply of fire wood. |
