first entreprenaurial effort was as a beekeeper selling honey.

age 14.

built a bee hive in shop class in 8th grade, bought bees and queen by mail. sat it in the apple orchard behind the house and that fall sold about 50 bucks in honey and comb honey.

(big $ in those days)

i keep splitting the hives until i had about 25.

then i went away to college, bee mites came in, no one would maintain the hives and nature put me out of biz.
