The boys undertook an important part of beekeeping by working together to plant a group of plants known for their strong pollination, and that are also proven to attract bees.

Because of COVID-19, off-campus trips have been very limited. Luckily, Youth-Reach knows of a small campground that was only allowing one group to camp at a time.
