Integrated Learning-Living Communities

Several brave Business Ethics & Environmental Sustainability (BEES) members visited a nearby apiary, the TWO BEES hive operation maintained by Adam Webber, a local lawyer, and his family (including Laura Webber, an accounting professor at UD, and his three children).

BEES senior Clare McCabe set the tone, among the first to handle the frames, while first-year BEE Austin Ebbing allowed a male drone to traverse his bare hand (after learning that the drones have no stinger).

More first-year BEES donned the gear (white protective gear and head nets) to probe the depths of
the ‘brood box’ and the ‘honey deeps,' including Kasey Crawford, Nick Dodds, Collin Hanrahan, Yadiel Roque, Preston Schuster and Martin Silva. The bees rewarded the intrepid with honey samples to sweeten the encounter.
