Busy Bees
Junior Luca Procida checks out a bottle of The Bee Box's (4765 J St.) Certified Organic honey. Latin teacher Jane Batarseh took her AP Latin class on a field trip to the shop on Sept. 19 after they read an extended metaphor in Vergil's "Aeneid" comparing Carthaginian citizens to busily working bees.
"The trip gave us a present-day look into what the Romans did back in ancient Rome," Procida said.
According to Batarseh, honey was a staple in the Roman diet and their primary source of sweetness.
"It's crazy to think that beekeeping techniques have not changed very much between then and now!" Procida said.
