There’s a quiet hum growing in Scarborough east’s Highland Creek area as the honeybee population increases. The surge in bee numbers is due to efforts of a student group at the University of Toronto Scarborough and local beekeeper Brian Hamlin. They want to bring attention to the plight of nature’s unsung hero, the honeybee, who collects nectar for their queens while pollinating crops and flowers.
