The Bee Project at ARI has begun. What’s truly surprising is what happened behind the scenes. As we were discussing how to set up a shed to place the hives, a Filipino staff member pointed to a shed that wasn’t currently in use and said, “We can just cut that shed in half and carry it over.” For a moment, I couldn’t believe my ears. What? Cut the shed in half? And carry it over?? What on earth did he mean? I decided to let that staff member take the lead, and sure enough, the shed was actually cut in half. All the participants joined forces, lifted it, and carried it to its new location. The teamwork was truly impressive, and it was a moment that really showed the strength and unity of ARI community. It was a way of thinking I would never have come up with myself. ARI is full of wonders like this.
By the way, we conducted our first honey harvest on May 8 and were able to receive 3 kg of honey.
