In photos: Honey Harvest Celebration showcases success of first campus beehive

Allen Centennial Gardens welcomed honey lovers to partake in bounty of garden, show off what their bees have been working on all year

The Allen Centennial Gardens hosted the Honey Harvest Celebration to honor the hard work of their bees this past summer. Lead by two student sustainability interns, a beehive was raised this spring and the fruits of the bees (and interns) labors were shared with community members, students and families Sunday afternoon.

At the event, there was plenty of fresh honey to sample, local honey products to purchase and pipe cleaner antennae headbands available for crafting. The celebration had real bees under a microscope ready for viewing as well as a “Bee Bomb” station to get your hands dirty to make something that the pollinators of Wisconsin would love.
