UVM Beekeepers<\/a> are a community for those interested in all aspects of bees and beekeeping. The club seeks to educate members of the UVM and Burlington communities on the ecological importance of honeybees. We will be keeping hives on campus, in the meadow across from University Heights Greenhouse, and at the Horticulture Research and Education Center.<\/p>\nThe Beekeeping Club was instrumental in obtaining the Bee Campus designation for UVM every year since 2018. There are only 18 such campuses nationally, and we are the only one in New England!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
