FAIR HILLÂ â The next time Bradford Luff teaches his beginning beekeeper class for Cecil Land Trust he s going to let his students in on a few secrets in advance. Don t wear black. The only natural enemy of the honeybee is the bear, Luff, vice president of the Susquehanna Beekeepers Association, said to his five students Saturday morning.
He added that wearing red is also not a good idea because the bees see it as black.
As each student donned the protective gear a long sleeved jacket complete with a screened in hood and gloves, Luff urged them to move slow so as not to antagonize the bees swarming in and out of a collection of hives on the property off Blake Road.

PERRYVILLE â In the final days leading up the May 11 municipal election words are getting heated as the challenger in the mayoral race and supporters of the incumbent trade barbs over Great Wolf Lodge.
Mayor Robert Ashby is seeking a second term in office as mayor of Perryville. His challenger is Matthew Roath.
Not long after the deadline passed to enter the race in early April, Roath began campaigning against what he considered was reckless spending in town hall and disarray in town government. Using a Facebook page for his campaign Roath questioned property taxes, water and sewer rates, economic development and community services, claiming each has been adversely affected under Ashbyâs time in office. He has also questioned whether Perryville got the better end of the deal in the Great Wolf Lodge contract.
