Mizzou's Jefferson Farm introduces beehives to support veterans and community members.

Veteran Fred Marjoda from Columbia finds beekeeping more accessible thanks to the new wheelchair-friendly beehives at the University of Missouri’s Jefferson Farm and Garden. These beehives are part of the Missouri Heroes to Hives program, which promotes veteran wellness, community building, and agricultural education. The AZ beehives, created by Slovenian beekeeper Anton Žnideršic, allow participants to engage with bees while seated, eliminating physical challenges while maintaining the program's hands-on approach.
