GL Capstone students harvest honey
The Greater Latrobe Capstone class ended its season of beekeeping with a harvest of honey.
The students have been monitoring the hives, and in mid-October, they harvested their honey.
Capstone teacher Patrick Roberts collected the frames and brought them into the classroom for harvesting. Unfortunately the handle on the extractor failed so the students had to harvest by hand.
According to Roberts, they did a great job and extracted almost 300 ounces of honey. All students took honey home and the rest was distributed around the district and the community.
Thank you to the Rotary Club of Latrobe for their grant allowing this project to take place, and to beekeeper Nancy Thorne for her support. The students are looking forward to next season!
