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
