"Bees have different jobs that are given to them at birth and they have that job throughout life.

A beaver pond in the woods off of Barderry Lane has emptied into Pawtuckaway Lake. This pond, thought to be a source of nutrient loading in the lake by co-president of the lake association Tom Duffy, broke through its beaver dam due to high rainfall last year and emptied into a tributary that feeds Pawtuckaway Lake. The Pawtuckaway Lake Action Committee has been studying sources of nutrient loading including beaver ponds like this one. There are two ponds between Rte 156 and Barderry Lane. The smaller pond is the beaver dam that collapsed. The following photos are of the larger pond which is still intact:
