 By breeding honeybees, which are polynates, on campus, we will contribute to the greening of the city and the maintenance of the ecosystem, and by selling honey and developing products with local confectionery stores, we aim to promote local production and local consumption and revitalize the region. ..It is run by 100 students of the "CUC100 Wine Project", which aims to brew original wines produced in Ichikawa City toward the 12th anniversary of the university's founding.
