It has been decades since the last students moved out of Memorial Hall; the dormitory was converted to office space in the late 1960s. However, a new group of inhabitants moved in this spring when The Beez Kneez organization installed beehives on the building鈥檚 rooftop as part of an urban apiary partnership program. Augsburg joined the program to further the College鈥檚 commitment to environmental stewardship and to creating green spaces within the city.

Recently, honey bee populations have been decreasing due to parasites and the misuse of pesticides. The on-campus hives will help rebuild the local population and pollinate Augsburg鈥檚 plant life. Those worried about getting stung can rest easy鈥攈oney bees are not aggressive and will not sting unless threatened.
