MOUNTVILLE (Lancaster
Co.) The Gerhart home in
Mountville buzzes with activity.
It’s the center for honey bee prom
otion and home for Brock, 6, and
Drew, 3.
The energetic brothers are the
sons of Dave and Becky Fisher
Gerhart.
“Pap Fisher and Uncle Dyson
have bees,” Brock said.
Pap is Brock’s grandfather. The
boys like to watch their grand
father extract honey from the bee
hive. But more than that, the boys
like to eat honey. They like honey
drizzled on ice cream and cereal.
But their favorite way to eat ice
cream is to stir it into a cup of
warm milk.
Maybe it’s honey that gives the
boys lots of energy.
“1 like to run,” Brock said.
“Every night I race with Drew all
through the house.”
The Gerharts live in 10 rooms of
the 17-room house. They have
fish, a dog Ginger and a cat
Smidgen.
Brock is in kindergarten at
Mountville Elementary School.
Brock plays with his Super Hero Spider Men.

Gerhart Home Buzzes With Activity
Since November, Brock has been
taking karate lessons.
“It’s awesome. It’s for self
defense,” he said as he demon
strated the different poses.
Although Drew is only three
years old, he’s good at imitating
his older brother.
They like to play games like
Guess Who, Connect Two, and
Nintendo on the computer with
their dad. Both boys enjoy playing
with Super Heroes Spider Men.
The brothers also like to read.
Their favorite book is one about
dinosauers, which is required read
ing by their baby sitter, lona
Hoover.
Jona is not only their baby sitter
but the Pennsylvania Honey
Queen. She spends a lot of time
with the Gerharts because the
boys’ mother is the coordinator for
the Honey Bee Queen Program.
Their mother was a former queen
for the program, and continues to
promote honey and bees for the
industry. She believes everyone
should use honey and her sons are
learning to share her enthusiasm.
Brock is eager to take an obser
vation hive to school. During
Show and Tell, he plans to tell his
classmates all about bees.
