Live Oak Middle students and faculty gather in front of the school’s new indoor observational beehive during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, July 24.
Amanda Jones, librarian at Live Oak Middle, explains how she acquired the indoor observational beehive the school installed this summer. The beehive, one of only two in-school ones in the state, was funded by a grant from the Bee Cause Project and Whole Kids Foundation.
Bees buzz around the entrance/exit for the indoor observational beehive that was recently installed at Live Oak Middle. Bees enter and exit the beehive through a tube that goes from the hive through the library’s back wall to the open outdoors. The area where the bees enter/exit is in an unused courtyard that will be blocked off from students, LOM Librarian Amanda Jones said.
