USI to host inaugural Beekeeping Society meeting

The University of Southern Indiana Beekeeping Society is hosting its inaugural meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, December 11 in Carter Hall, located in University Center West. The meeting is open to the public at no charge. Reserving your spot is encouraged.

Individuals interested in bees, beekeeping, pollinators, native plants and sustainability are encouraged to attend. “USI will be installing hives on campus in the spring, and we really want to bring everyone together to share, learn and engage in beekeeping,” says Dr. Jason Hardgrave, Interim Assistant Provost for Academic Affairs and Associate Professor of History. “Additionally, part of our commitment to being a Bee Campus is creating these groups and promoting education.”

USI announced its affiliation with the Bee Campus USA program in October. You can read more about USI’s Bee Campus project online.
