Spots that is In NJ's stipend to promote new beekeepers in NJ. NJ will provide $300 worth of bees and equipment to anyone over ten yrs old and new to beekeeping who successfully completes the bee-ginners course sponsored by the Ag dept on April 10-12. As a promotion, many NJ articles have been released this week interviewing people who took the course in the pasrt. I was one of them.

They got most of facst right, keeping fingers crossed!
So go out and get someone new started in beekeeping! (THATS AN ORDER!)
Konasdad, right that is such a wonderful thing. I don't think that there is anything like that here, in Canada, where I live. I bet that if there was, there would be even more beekeepers beginning with the bees, too bad, oh well, maybe it will follow here one day, beautiful day, beautiful life. Cindi
