      As a beekeeper myself, you have a wonderful idea Jana. Since our pollinators are disappearing every year, we need more beekeepers urban and rural areas. Good luck and have fun with your project.

Connected as Jana Kinsman (712 friends)

I enjoy growing and working in a strong community with passionate people, whether interested in design, local food, or bicycles. As a freelance designer/illustrator, I spend my days drawing, cooking various meats, cycling the streets, and enjoying day beers with friends. In other words, the good life

I've been a doodler all my life, and drawing friends and family has been one of my favorite activities as of late. I'd like to bring this fun to the world at large!
