Have you ever wondered what goes on inside a beehive?

Join beekeeper Dr. Katie Krebs and go inside the hive, taking a close look at the fascinating world of bees. Begin with an online lecture on hive activity and hierarchy. Then, visit Longwood’s hives for a close inspection of what goes on inside; you’ll be able to watch the bees dance and the hive swarm up close, among other exciting activity. Bring your questions and get answers and expert insight into all things bees.
