 My name is Nicolas Pailleux, and I live in France, near Lyon. I am a young
 beekeeper, for 5 years, I am 21. I really enjoyed the work and I plan to work
 p >>
 
Is anyone able to offer Nicolas a job?  I really wish I could but, with a
small hobby yard that I only work on occasional weekends, I cannot help.  The
French have been so good to my children during various exchange opportunities
that we feel a global debt of thanks needs to repaid.
 
Having an exchange student about is a wonderful way to introduce your family
to another culture and language.  We've had many young people stay with us
from Mexico, China, Switzerland and France and we've enjoyed it tremendously.
Not to mention that we've been assured of warm beds and good food whenever we
go to visit Mexico, China, Switzerland and France (although we've only been
able to take our French "kids" up on their offers).
 
The French do wonderful things for health with propolis.  We've much to learn
from our European "neighbors."  I would encourage anyone who can to please
"adopt" Nicholas for a summer. It might be that you would get free help in
exchange for room and board.  And if you get tired of him, well, I could offer
him a weekend in Charlottesville, Virginia when I'm up there this summer.
