Beekeeping is big in Republic of China (ROC).  They produce massive amounts of royal jelly for export and there are something like 1,000 small commercial beekeepers.  Try contacting a beekeeper:

Most people in Taiwan speak English enough to meet you 1/2 way, if you know what I mean.

When I was there, most spoke some english, and the bar tenders spoke perfect english. The ""escorts"" in the bars also spoke perfect english. You can get any info you want in the bars.

The more you are the More English is spoken, The farther you go south the less is spoken. I am just south of central Taiwan and English around is hard to find. English isn't to bad in big city but the town it is sad. But thanks for the information I will check it out I was going to go to bee town tomorrow and see what I can find out.. Thanks again for your help. I hope to get  few hives up and running. that should be an interesting with so good stories to tell..LOL
