> Does anyone know how many women commercial bee keeper there are? I'm talking day to day bee work, who does it all.? I have a very good chance for a grant from a well know company, if I'm in a small minority of women commercial beekeepers, who does the day to day work. I am sorry that no one came forward to answer this question. I don't know the answer myself but I do know that there are a lot of women working in honey bee research these days. Some very bright minds are at work. I came up with this list in an hour. I am sure I missed a few.
