LEBANON, Mo. – A rescue mission to save a hive full of honeybees has the city of Lebanon buzzing!
Downtown Lebanon Missouri, a nonprofit organization committed to the revitalization of Lebanon’s downtown area, captured beekeepers saving around 30,000 bees from inside the walls of a historic building in downtown Lebanon on Tuesday.
The organization says Dozier Masonry cut into the building’s walls so beekeepers with Sun and Bloom Farms and 417bees could safely rescue the bees from within those walls.
The building is currently being renovated to become the new location of Jude’s Coffee Company. According to Downtown Lebanon, Missouri, the building used to be an old bank in the late 1800s and early 1900s and a jewelry store from around the 1980s to the early 2010s.
