Nikiya Ellis, left, cofounder of City Bees RVA, explains the process of beekeeping to Treasure Daily, 12, of Richmond on Aug. 13 at Sankofa Community Orchard on Richmond’s Southside. The youngster experienced what it is like to be surrounded by 20,000 bees while helping to treat the hives for mites. “If you get nervous, don’t swat, just step away and take a deep breath,” Ms. Ellis advised the youngster.
