I saw this article in the iron guardian and thought some might be interested. Notice the cost for 25 beehives and equipment

Only the government could get beginner's kits at the bargain price of (about) $940 each. (I guess shipping is a little steep).
Informative article - thanks for serving.

This is corruption :(!

When I was in the Middle East last summer on a business trip you can visit a shop there and buy a whole 2 deep two suppers hive with frames and all for 22$.

The way I read it the cost included the course as well as the hives. Expensive but these women seem very appreciative to have the opportunity to become beekeepers.

I love the quote that said the woman would keep the bees like her own children.

What happens if they turn defensive one day on her, she still gonna suckle?  :-D
