All is in good order for the re-opening this September 5th, 2020! Bring your family over for some science fun!!!

Rooftop hives were very active!

The Observation Hive ready to install. Full of bees!

The queen is marked with blue paint to make her easier to find.

The bees were eager to get outside after the install!

Dr. Joe does a virtual tour of the Summit Apiary on April 22nd with 1st graders from All-Saints in Bayonne!

A new school Rubik's Cube record was set by "GRAY BEE" students at St. Benedict's Prep in Newark (sbp.org)! The first place individual completed the cube in an impressive 32.597 seconds, winning a prize of $1,000 to cover school's tuition and shattering the schools best record of 33.240 seconds! The second and third place winners followed close behind winning prizes of $500 and $250, respectively. The prize money was donated by Dr. Joe for their tuition. The contest was open to all students in 5th to 8th grades. Congratulations to our winners!
