The Honey bee Project is funded by the Rochester Public School and PPT. The goal of the project is to educated staff and students about honey bees and their contribution to the world. This was our first spring setting up a hive and working with bees. We have a team of teachers that have taken classes and have helped with hive inspections. We purchased a flow hive that will allow us to observe the bees and easily collect honey. We have purchased a portable hive so that next fall we can bring a frame of bees to the classrooms when we talk about the hive and what bees do. If you would like to see the Lincoln hive it is located about three blocks from Lincoln on the Boys Scout Property along highway 14. There is a cage around it, but if you would like to watch the bees you can through the fence. Joey Lindsey, a former Lincoln student has been contracted to design and create a camera system that runs off solar power and will upload images /video from the hive sometime this summer. Once he has it working, we will send you the link… "The Bee Cam"
Over the summer we will begin the process of designing classroom lesson on bees for teachers to use with their classes.This is unique to Lincoln
