Gardener Extras

MCC employees volunteer to assist with beekeeping duties. The majority are the kitchen staff.
Bees forage for nectar and bring it to the hive, depositing it into cells. This nectar is then passed between mouths of bees and fanned by their wings to reduce the water content. When the water content is low enough that honey will not spoil. The full cell of honey is capped with a waxy substance.
