Actually the cost for a hive is $30.

Here is what they say about the gift of honeybees:
        The Buzz About Bees
        From India to the Dominican Republic, bees from Heifer
International help struggling families earn income through the sale of
honey, beeswax and pollen.

Beehives require almost no space, and once established, are
inexpensive to maintain. As bees search for nectar, they pollinate
plants. Placed strategically, beehives can as much as double some
fruit and vegetable yields. In this way, a beehive can be a boon to a
whole village.

Although most Heifer partners keep bees as a supplement to family
income, beekeeping can be a family's livelihood. Your gift provides a
family with a package of bees, the box and hive, and training in
beekeeping.

I think Heifer International is a fine charity.
