In 2010 the University of Delaware’s apiary was rehabilitated and revitalized as a working, teaching apiary. We have now expanded into multiple apiary locations consistently housing between 60-150 colonies during the peak season. A unique and special result of the increase in the number of colonies has been the production, harvest and marketing of UD’s own honey, featured in the UD Creamery and local retail shops throughout the year. This honey is not only delicious but is produced by University of Delaware bees! Our honey and other products of the hive, including beeswax candles, queen bees, and starter honey bee colonies, generate revenue that can be used to sustain the apiary.
