If You're Going To Do It, Do It Right

In 8th grade, I wanted to quit my superleague basketball team mid-season; my dad told me that I shouldn't because I should never do anything half-assed. I took that advice to heart.

In Utah, backyard beekeepers -- and commercial beekeepers -- are required to apply for a beekeepers license with State Department of Agriculture. My license came in the mail a week ago; I was giddy like a schoolboy.


If you are thinking of getting a license, the Department has a graduated fee structure. $10 for 0 to 20 hives, $25 for 21 to 100 hives, and $50 for 101 to 500 hives. Plus you have to renew your license each year. If you want to apply just click here.
