Under the leadership of Dr. Scott Starr in the Department of Biology, Hampden-Sydney has started an Apiary for maintenance and study of bee colonies.\u00a0 The Apiary allows students to learn about the fundamentals of beekeeping and work on research projects studying bee behavior. The photo here was taken from the H-SC Apiary, and you can learn more about the bee work being done at Hampden-Sydney in an article in this issue by Haden VonCanon \u201927.<\/p>\r\n
