Honey bees prefer to live in green areas like gardens, orchards or woodlands. But one of the largest bee labs in the country is right here in the desert at Arizona State University's Polytechnic campus in Mesa.According to Amelie Strange, a Ph.D. candidate at ASU, beekeepers have a great sense of humor.
After a winter and early spring of low temperatures and seemingly constant rain, one researcher says it has likely lowered the bee population in the state.
