New Beek From Afghanistan

[bbrowncods]

Actually I live in Norfolk,VA. I am deployed until Feb. Timing looks good to get back and start a spring hive (or two). Here to learn!

First of all, thank you for serving our great nation!
second, welcome, this is my first year, forums have taught me lots on the art of beekeeping.

While you are there you might try to get in with one of the PRTs. A few of them are using beekeeping in Kunar Prov to assist the locals in making more money. Just a thought. Google "Afghanistan beekeeping" and you will get a few. I think the OK NG did a big project on this. Locals earned avg of $300/yr and beekeeping suplemented their income by about $100 annually based on honey sales. Doesn't sound like much to us but pretty huge to them.

You missed a great opportunity, one of the best to learn from on this forum just returned from 2 years in Kabul.

Thank you for serving, keep your head down.

welcome, I too just got to the forum. My son just left the corp a couple of months ago and used to get deployed to western Afghanistan, made me worry every time. Thanks for your service.

Thanks everyone! I'll go to Kunar and see what they have go'in. The Navy personnel in the PRTs are all ADCON through me.

Back home in Norfolk now. Good to be home.
