Statehouse looking bee-tiful
There’s some buzz at the Statehouse. As part of an Earth Day Celebration, the Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board are dedicating a beehive (with 25,000 honey bees) and planting a sourwood tree on the Statehouse grounds. The beehive will be overseen by Nina Bagley, of Nina’s Village Apiary (German Village).
The decision to introduce honey bees to the Statehouse doesn’t have anything to do with our State Officials wanting honey; it’s more for the 100+ plants, trees, and flowers around the grounds. They also hope it’ll serve as an excellent educational tool for schools and adults on the pollination process and raise awareness on why honey bees are dying out. Just don’t let Nic Cage near them … (deb)
