1. Z Hive
2. Swarm of Z’s
3. Broncos Honey Pot
4. All about the beeZ
While this journalist's personal favorite was "All about the beeZ" it, sadly, was not the winner. Instead, Zachary High's Honey is officially called Z Hive
We spoke to Melissa Brumbaugh, a ZHS faculty member and head of the school's FFA program who explained how Z Hive was started and what the Ag Dept is doing to with their 8 hives.

The Zachary AG Dept received a $10,000 dollar grant through the Louisiana Department of Agriculture last April. With the grant we were able to receive 8 bee hives. AG students along with the help and guidance of local beekeepers have learned how to bee keep. Recently we harvested 4 gallons of honey and have started making labels for our honey. Students came up with names and the community voted, and Z Hive Honey was born.If you're interested in trying Z Hive Honey for yourself, you can buy it through the ZHS Ag Department. The big bottle is $5 and the small bottle is $2.
The students absolutely LOVE it and be me to go back to the bees!
