KELLY TOWNSHIP — Quite a “buzz” in Central PA today. People came to Union County from all over the country for honey bees!

Today was “Bee Day” at a farm near Lewisburg, where people could buy honey bees in bulk to start their own bee hives.

They may beeeee pesky, and it can hurt when they sting, but it’s no secret that honey bees help the environment.

These people know the importance of honey bees and came to Brushy Mountain Bee Farm near Lewisburg to buy them in bulk.

“I’m a herbalist and so I’m working with the bees as a way to pollinate the medicinal plants I work with,” Jennifer Allen said.

“They come up just so they can better their environment around their house and to help out everybody else,” Jim Wilson said.

Jim Wilson is the manager at Brushy Mountain Bee Farm near Lewisburg. The farm raises bees and manufactures beekeeping supplies.

HARTLETON — The police chief in a Union County community is still on the job despite facing theft charges.

Donald Zerbe is charged with theft by extortion, accused of giving drivers a way out of speeding tickets if they donated to a playground fund.

Borough officials in Hartleton say their attorney advised them not to speak to reporters one day after state police charged Chief Donald Zerbe with theft by extortion.

Whether Zerbe stays as police chief could be determined by a special borough council meeting.

Nevertheless, there are people in that community who believe the chief should stay.

MIFFLINBURG — A firefighter accused of yelling at and poking another man in the chest went to court to face harassment charges.

That firefighter from Mifflinburg is also a code enforcement officer in Union County.

James Emery faces charges of oppression and harassment. He is accused of verbally and physically assaulting another man last month at a public auction in Mifflinburg.

According to witnesses and court paperwork, Emery was wearing his Mifflinburg Fire Department coat when he allegedly told another man, “Don’t be surprised if your house burns down.” This was after an argument last month at a public real estate auction.

According to court papers, the Mifflinburg Fire Department was bidding on property on Market Street in Mifflinburg. The property is directly behind the fire department, and firefighters wanted to expand behind the department’s headquarters.
