Students from Blue Springs High School and Blue Springs South High School partnered with Queen Bee Boutiques and The Vintage Bee in Blue Springs where they pitched their creations to a panel of judges in a shark-tank-style competition called the "Bee Tank". Lucas Henderson took first place with his curated second-hand clothing. Haylee Thompson, who runs her own baked goods business, finished second place, and Mirabella Henderson took third place with her crocheted stuffed animals. The top three competitors will all receive a dedicated space in the store’s "student hive" area, and all competitors will have a chance to display their creations there.
