Gifts to Bee-A-Donor: Apiary contribute to...
About the Project ๐
Part of the Center for the Environment, the Westminster College Apiary introduces students (from all majors) to the world of beekeeping and provides hands-on experience in science, agriculture and entrepreneurship as they care for bees and harvest honey. After their successful 2022 crowdfunding campaign, the College established the Westminster Bee Company which provides sustainable, natural, and local honey and bee products from Westminster College's Apiary.

"This project deeply enhances the Westminster Titan experience by immersing students in interdisciplinary, hands-on learning that is both challenging and meaningful. Through the Apiary and the Westminster Bee Company, students develop transferable skills—including critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, communication, data collection, and ethical decision-making—while working with a living system that demands responsibility and care."
