Check the BEE-L archives, specifically:

There was some concern that Heifer donations intended for beekeeping
purposes may actually end up in a "general fund".

At EAS 2001 at MMA, Nicola Bradbear spoke about her association with "Bees
for Developement".  A fascinating approach to helping developing countries
with beekeeping in a manner that is sustainable within the realm of their
own culture.  A single sentence cannot do justice to their program, but I
have not the time to write more.  Surf to:
