Hello,
 
I am with a non-profit organization in Colorado.  We are considering
raising bees on some land which we want to put into a trust to prevent it
from being developed.  Part of our task is to keep the land in agricultural
production.
 
I have "surfed" the net and have found several very useful resources on
beekeeping, but have not been able to answer a few questions.  If anyone
can help me with these questions I would greatly appreciate it.
 
 
1)  Is beekeeping considered an official agricultural activity?
 
2)  Are there agricultural subsidies or other forms of government
assistance available to beekeepers?
