On one of the last days in August, with the sun still high above the westward mountain range, a class of curious apiarists gathered among the rows of vegetables and flowers at the Summit Community Gardens.

McKinney explained that the bees were busy taking advantage of the abundance of flowers this time of year, so a good number of them wouldn’t be in the hive, hence why he could get by with his chosen attire and not worry about putting on a protective suit.
