The apiary supports classes in the Environmental Studies Department at Ithaca College. We provide faculty-student independent research opportunities and advanced independent studies on specialized topics.
South Hill Apiaries supports the beekeeping community with free mentorship, consulting, and volunteering in the apiary management team for The Finger Lakes Beekeepers Club. In 2022 we are proudly providing colonies for the Eastern Apicultural Society Master Beekeeper exams.
Teams from our apiary serve the community and bees by catching swarms and providing them a new place to live in our apiary. We also work with local pest control companies to remove bees from the walls and roofs of structures and relocate them to safer homes.
