Bee Club
The Bee Club has a number of different missions. First and foremost is the objective to educate members through material, guest speakers, and hands on experience on how to build, maintain, interact and harvest with bees and their hives. Bees are commonly clumped together with other "pest" while nothing could be further from the truth. Bees account for 80% of insect pollination. This is the only insect that creates food that man eats.On top of this honey is an extraordinary substance, containing vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and even water. The fact we have beehives on campus makes us unbelievably lucky. It is time to bring the bees to the masses and keep them low key no more!

Additionally, we will help preserve the “low impact” ethics that have shaped the climbing community in Durango by organizing crag cleanups and trail building days in order to give back to the community and help build a relationship with other climbers outside of the school.
