Visit to Beehive is Sweet

A visit to McDonogh’s beehives, a part of the Roots Farm, is a much anticipated outing for the seniors in Cynthia Cox’s English elective, In Good Taste: The Literature of Food. On Tuesday, September 24, some students arrived at the hives thrilled by the prospect of handling the honeycombs covered in bees and dripping with golden honey, while others were wary. In the end, students walked away buzzing with awareness after beekeeper David Cromwell explained the role bees play in the production of food.
