BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Western Washington University is looking for funding for the development of a new, world-class teaching apiary.
The university has launched a crowdfunding campaign to expand its five-acre Outback Farm to include a modern apiary classroom facility, an informational kiosk and glass-sided observation hive.
Outback Manager Terri Kempton says the farm has the chance to be a regional leader in pollinator advocacy, research, and education.
The program will highlight student-led teaching for peer-to-peer learning and engagement throughout the Western community.
