Keeper of the bees
We don’t mean to depress you, but as we roll into September that means we are one step closer to fall. It also means harvests are coming in, and the work of honey bees has made for another successful summer. Our First Look visits some hives to see what it takes to keep Delaware’s bees in good shape.

Elson is the Chair of Corporate Governance at the University of Delaware’s Lerner School of Business.
