DC's Friendship Tech Prep Charter School has been home to an apiary since 2018, led by Urban Agriculture Teacher Coy McKinney (Tara Chapman is seen here helping out, while student Jayla does a thorough inspection). (Photo Credit/All rights reserved: Coy McKinney)

Also in DC, the "Swarm Squad" response team invested in high-visibility vests a few years ago. Maybe that is why this swarm landed ON Del Voss a couple of years ago! (Photo Credit/All rights reserved: Del Voss, https://linktr.ee/dchoneyguy)

Vincent Penoso also got an unexpected addition to his apiary! (Photo Credit/All rights reserved: Vincent Penoso, Chinquapin Honey)
