Good organization. We had a beekeeper speak to us about his involvement
and I was impressed.  It is difficult work since it involves more than
just teaching how to keep bees, but also marketing the product in a very
different society. Both parties learn.

One of my relatives gave to it this year in our name, since I am a
beekeeper. Appreciated the gesture.

They are in the business of "teaching to fish" along with giving the
tools/animals to do it. Doing everything right for the right reasons.
