Colin Hughes. He’s 12, in 4H, School Band and is an overall great guy. The kind of kid you’d point out to your own kids and say “be like him”. We are tickled he has taken up an interest in bees. He gets a hive, Bee equipment and a package of bees with Queen. Also a mentor for his first year. We know he will do the best he can for his bees. Congratulations Colin.
