ALBION â It was, fittingly enough, an organic discovery.
It involved a woman from the Netherlands, an old Army man, a curious group of young people, some teachers passionate about project-based learning and a downed tree.
The fifth-grade classes at Central Noble Elementary School were developing trails in the woods that the corporation owns east of the Albion campus earlier this school year.
One of the students stumbled upon a dead tree. Inside that tree? Bees? Bunches and bunches of bees.
Like most people, the initial reaction was fear. That part of the trail was closed down to avoid the bees.
