It's official

I am now a Utah State licensed beekeeper. The license came in the mail today. Wahoo. I had concerns about being registered. It cost me $10. After meeting the state bee inspector and getting a better understanding of her job, most of my concerns disappeared. I also decided that the benefits of being registered were worth it. Any one spraying in the area (pesticides on fields, mosquito abatement...) must, by law, notify me before they do. Also with more registered beekeepers in the area, we are entitled to more help from the state level.
