Students at Slippery Rock University are trying to combat the rapid decline of local honeybees.
Officials say decline is due to the use of pesticides. In Pennsylvania alone, 61 percent of honeybees died last year.
The university’s women’s field hockey team constructed nesting sites for honeybees…also known as “bee hotels.” They used things like tree limbs, twigs and clay pot fragments.
The sites were built at the school’s Robert A. Macoskey Center on Harmony Road.
