Benjamin's Booth

We’re closed today, June 14, as we spend the day jarring fresh honey and taking care of some much-needed maintenance around the homestead. 🐝🍯

The good news? Our shelves are being restocked, and porch pickup will be available starting tomorrow, June 15, and throughout the week. If you’d like to place an order, simply fill out our online order form and we’ll coordinate your pickup.

Thank you for your patience and for supporting local beekeeping, local pollinators, and small businesses right here in Delaware. We look forward to getting fresh honey into your hands soon! 🌻

🛍️ Today’s the day! Join Benjamins Booth from 3–7 PM for the June Makers Market at Greenbank Mill!

☀️ Due to the heat, all vendors will be set up inside the Mill, so you and our vendors can stay cool and comfortable in the AC. Come beat the heat with us! ❄️

We’re buzzing around at a private event today! 🐝🍯

⚠️ Before it’s built, ask yourself: what could a massive data center mean for White Clay, wildlife, pollinators, and our community?

The proposed White Clay data center raises bigger questions about infrastructure, land use, energy demand, environmental impact, and the growing role of large-scale digital systems in our everyday lives.

Data centers power far more than artificial intelligence. They can support cloud computing, corporate storage, large-scale data processing, digital platforms, surveillance technologies, cameras, analytics systems, predictive monitoring, government and enterprise systems, and the massive digital ecosystem behind modern technology.

At the same time, growing research is raising concerns about the environmental footprint tied to expanding digital infrastructure. A report from the Centre for AI, Trust and Governance at The University of Sydney, The Digital Climate Footprint: From Global Data Centre Growth to Local Ecological Consequences, warns that AI-driven infrastructure growth and expanding data centers could contribute to increased emissions, ecological strain, and climate-related stress on pollinators and ecosystems. Researchers note that even small climate shifts may impact bees through heat stress, habitat disruption, and ecosystem imbalance.

White Clay is part of what makes this community feel like home. Green space, wildlife, pollinators, and nature matter.

Technology matters. Progress matters. But so do transparency, responsible growth, and protecting the environment we leave behind.

Due to the weather, Benjamin’s Booth will be closed tomorrow. Local honey orders will still be available through porch pick-up, so you can still stock up on your favorite local honey from the hive. 🍯

Thank you and have a safe holiday weekend! 🐝
