Happenings in the Hive

We would like to provide housing for honeybees!  If you see a swarm of bees near the downtown Greenville area, please call AJW and provide the location of the swarm.  We love honeybees and want to make sure they are safe and happy.  Thank you!

Hello Engineers!

On Saturday, April 15, we welcomed home our new colony of Honey Bees! A few of the AJW Bee Ambassadors came to help transfer the bees into the observational hive. Don't worry, they had on beekeeping suits and veils! Be on the lookout for the AJW Honey Bees flying around!
