On Saturday, children at the Spryfield garden and beehive sat calmly while bees crawled all over their arms. A learning opportunityThe children — and the bees — are part of a community project that allows residents to learn about beekeeping while helping their community at the same time. (Steve Berry/CBC)"The youth in the Greystone community in Spryfield said, 'Well, if they can have bees, why can't we have bees?' Growing communityThe project is supported by the Telus Atlantic Canada Community Board, which funds small community projects in Atlantic Canada to the tune of $500,000 each year. Morrison says the kids involved in the project end up teaching other kids and adults in the community.
