We encourage anyone who is eager and willing to learn, to come out and volunteer.

We are pleased to announce the arrival of our first bee hive at the Acadia Farm. The hive will be used for teaching and research in partnership with the Acadia Beekeeping Club and the Department of Biology. Under the direction of Dr. Dave Shutler and Dr. Kirk Hillier and local beekeepers Kevin Spicer and Perry Brandt, students will learn about the role of bees in agriculture and investigate integrated pest management techniques. Stop by the farm to welcome our newest campus residents and learn about bees!
