  1. Hi George, I'm looking to be connected with someone who would be willing to come teach a group of 100 teenage girls and their adults leaders at a summer camp. We're looking for a one hour presentation about bees, their importance in our world, etc. The camp is in Fayetteville. Please feel free to contact me at cabesh@gmail.com Thank you!
