Honeybees at the Children’s Museum

Is this an ominous sign? That the plight of the rapidly declining population of honeybees means that soon we’ll only be able to see bees on display at a museum? …

Opening today at the Children’s Museum of Memphis is an exhibit of honeybees.

The Memphis Area Beekeepers Association helped put the exhibit together, which features two hives behind a window. The exhibit will allow kids to get a peek at colony life and will include fun info about bees, such as the fact that a single colony can produce up to 100 pounds of honey in a year.
