Beekeeping Hippies Run The Amazing Race

Posted by beekeepers on September 27, 2008

Eleven teams compete in the 13th series of The Amazing Race, the popular reality TV show hosted by Phil Keoghan. An adventurous race for a prize of one million dollars, the challenging route spans more than 30,000 miles and five continents in 23 days.

Among the contestants in the race are a married couple from Eugene, Oregon: 61-year-old Arthur Jones and his 63-year-old wife Anita. Self-described “hippies” (with the tie-dyed T-shirts to prove it), Arthur and Anita are backyard beekeepers who just bought an organic blueberry farm.

The Amazing Race 13 premieres on Sunday, September 28, at 9:00 p.m. Atlantic on CTV. If you miss the show and want to see how the mature Hippie Beekeepers made out on the first leg of the journey, you can watch the full-length episode online at CBS.com.
