Richards Bees

I was such a good beekeeper last year that I talked my brother into becoming one too. Well at the Utah County Beekeepers Association they have a program called "Be A Beekeeper". This program allows kids who are enrolled in a public or private school to enter into an essay contest for prizes to help them get started with beekeeping. My brother Richard wrote an essay and won 1st place! He won 1 complete hive, helmet, veil, gloves, smoker, package of bees with a queen, hive tool, Utah County Beekeepers Association membership, free beginners class and free UDAF licence (all these items were donated by members, companies or payed for by the association). He has started his own blog to write about his beekeeping experiences at http://richardsbees.blogspot.com (link on the right).
