BU Beekeeping Club - Visiting the Hive
Urban beekeeping at Boston University has never been more popular, with more than 200 students signing up for the BU Beekeeping club. But building a happy, healthy hive? In the city? That's the real challenge.

The day had finally arrived, one the beekeepers had eagerly anticipated all spring, but the fun was just getting started. How do you get 10,000 bees into a new hive?
