Ms. Mertz and Mr. Dittrich attended a beekeeping class last month. They were quite excited about what they learned, and it fits right into our Farm School initiative. They were able to secure a couple donated hives, which they’re busily preparing because queens are on the way.

Students also scraped the insides of the hives to remove old comb material.
