The following post was written by lower Wallingford beekeeper, Kevin. Honeybee swarming season is coming soon. Swarming is the natural way honeybee colonies reproduce. What happens is that during the winter of dormancy in the hive, the queen bee starts laying eggs and the workers raise the young as the colony starts ramping up their numbers for the upcoming spring’s bounty of flowering trees and plants. If and when a hive becomes too crowded, the hive decides to split in two.…

We are now in the home stretch of Waste Management's "Think Green Reuse and Recycling Challenge" which has viciously pitted neighborhood against neighborhood in an attempt to get us all to reduce our "waste" lines. As of late January, Wallingford, as part of the "Friday North" group along with part of Greenlake, was ranked 8th out of 10 in the city in terms of outright waste reduction. Yikes! We are not doing so well at reducing our waste in this part…

What's more, having an IA in the classroom enables students to hear conversations in Spanish or Japanese, providing a higher rate of language acquisition. On the school's PTA website, McDonald Elementary explains…
