The Bees Knees @51±¬ÁϹÙÍø

For the last few months, 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø's roof has been abuzz with active beehives in an effort to expand the population of bees. If we happen to one day be able to harvest some honey, it will be an even sweeter deal for everyone.

Congratulations to Diana Eicher for spearheading this project at 51±¬ÁϹÙÍø! The is a proud supporter of this project.
