MAYETTA, Kan. — The Potawatomi Nation is known as the "Keepers of the Fire," and approximately three weeks ago the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation (PBPN) became keepers of the bees. The PBPN Planning and Environmental Protection (PEP) program recently installed three brood boxes at the Land Maintenance complex, across the road from the Nation’s orchard located on K road. The new hives which each consist of roughly 10,000 bees are the tribe’s initial introduction to beekeeping. This new endeavor is off to a good start and it is anticipated that it will continue to grow and thrive and potentially become an economic resource in the future.
