Honeybees have been hard at work on the Mountaintop campus, home to the College of Education. A new apiary, alongside COE’s Organic Education Garden, has been helping to raise awareness among students, faculty and staff about honeybees and colony collapse disorder, a condition that has led to honeybees dying or disappearing by the tens of millions around the world at an estimated global economic cost of $5.7 billion annually.  Lehigh’s bees, while an educational tool on campus, also have been helping to pollinate the garden.
