The Bee's Knees

Oscar Claros, a student in the agronomy department, defended his research project today, examining the diversity of insects in the superfamily Apoidea, a.k.a. bees. He collected 83 different species, tracing them to different ecological niches. He dedicated the work to his father, who passed away before seeing his son graduate from the college. Congraduations on your hard work, Oscar. Your father would be proud.
