Beehives at the Governors Mansion

[BjornBee]

It took a few months of planning and getting approvals, but we finally installed the new beehives at the Governors mansion (as it is called) in Harrisburg, Pa.

Information and pictures can be seen here: www.pennapic.org

I know we are not the first state to have such hives at state capitols, etc., but we wanted to pass along the information, and the idea, of doing such public programs. It is a great outreach program and highly visible. And hopefully we can garner future support from such endeavors.

Oklahoma Republican Gov. Frank Keating, a former prosecutor, had a bee hive at the governor's mansion in the 1990s and early 2000s.  When Dem. Brand Henry, also a lawyer, came in to office he eventually had it removed.  Afraid of the liability of people getting stung. That's a Democrat lawyer for you.  :hissyfit:
