On July 7, a beekeeper with Best Bees Company inspected a hive of honeybees that the firm recently installed on the roof of Fulton Hall, a gift from Donna and Fred Seigel, P’13, ’19. The hive contains 10,000–15,000 bees, which will pollinate a broad range of flowers and produce some 30 pounds of honey annually. Citing concerns about declining bee populations worldwide, Robert Pion, director of the University’s Office of Sustainability, said, “We felt that hosting a beehive would be a symbol of the University’s concern for the environment.”
