What we’re working on: Dec. 6
Here’s the plan today for online and for tomorrow’s YDR.
A major story in the area today is the car crash in which five Adams County teens were killed. There are also some interesting features on tap — about bees, about carpentry students helping police and about how, during the holiday season, you can help pay someone else’s gas bill.

Dec. 6
FRONT PAGE
SLUG: BEE1206 — 15 — Thanks to the weather, bees in York County are in danger of starving to death during the winter. The York County Beekeepers Association is speculating that at least 50 percent of most hives will die this winter, and those that aren’t fed will die completely. What will this mean for honey prices, and for crop and flower pollination in the spring? (Burkey) EDITED
