Meroby Elementary School students celebrated World Bee Day on Monday at the Mountain Valley Middle School apiary center, where they participated in bee-related activities. World Bee Day is meant to “raise awareness on the essential role bees and other pollinators play in keeping people and the planet healthy, and on the many challenges they face today.” The Mountain Valley Bees Academy apiary in Mexico was created from a $100,000 Maine Department of education grant in 2022.
