Dwight-Englewood maintains two colonies of honey bees located near the Nettie Coit Garden. There is also a much smaller demonstration hive located in the Library, where one can see the bees moving about within the hive, which is made of glass. These bees pollinate plants in the pollinator border, in the garden, and in the wider area. The bees also produce honey, harvested once or twice a year and distributed at garden events. In addition, the bees produce beeswax, which can be used to create candles.
