The BYU Apiology Association, or "Bee Club" hosts fun activities each month where people can get together and learn about bees.
Apiology is a fancy word that refers to the study of bees, how they live, and how they behave.
Homemade beeswax lip balm may be the perfect hands-on activity to learn about bee conservation.
"I honestly just love learning about bees", Henry Fye, Apiology Association member, said.
It takes just two ingredients to make: beeswax and coconut oil. For Bee Club members, it's more than that.
"We actually do need to save the bees, so it's funny to laugh and everything, but then it's also fun because we're genuinely talking about it and I'm so grateful for that," Mallory Bennhoff, Apiology Association member, said.
The BYU Apiology Association is also involved in bee research across multiple disciplines.
One project explores how to communicate with bees using a combination of computer science, robotics and apiology.
"We've created a robot, and this summer we're going to be doing some experiments to see if we can't talk back and see if the bees actually go where we tell them to go," Bethany Rose Edgel, Bee Research Project Manager, said.
The students have a real passion for bees, and they are looking for more students to join them in their efforts.
"We have been trying to grow at the bee club and just welcome more people," Edgel said. "Bees are so important to Utah, to the Church, and really to this university."
