By Madison Thompson–
Members of the Engage Lead Serve Board stood near the Red Barn, buzzing with activity Sept. 28 during their “Honey, We Shrunk the Bee Population” event. The event brought awareness to declining bee populations across the country.
A pesticide was sprayed for Zika mosquitoes via air craft in South Carolina. The pesticide not only eliminated the mosquitoes, it also eliminated millions of bees. “I saw on Facebook and brought it up to the committee,” ELSB Promotions Director Erin Burke said.
