Hello there, I have been working with Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch to advance their bee program. The end goal is to develop a program which provides at-risk youth and their families free opportunities to learn beekeeping skills and work with these wondrous creatures.  

We are in need of a variety of equipment to launch this program. I thought I would reach out to you all, in case you have extra used items sitting around that need a new home.  At this time, our greatest need is for several 3-5 frame nucleus boxes as well as additional hive tools and protective suits.  

You can email me at rhanson@cpyr.org if you are interested in making a donation. Thanks!

Crystal Peaks is a non-profit in Tumalo that has been pairing abused and neglected (rescued) horses with at-risk youth since 1995.  Feel free to take a look at their website if you are interested in learning more. https://www.crystalpeaksyouthranch.org/  All donations are tax deductible.
