Since we are uncovering information about where some quotes came from how about other information. I have heard for years that bees, I am speaking of European bees not AHB, do not like horses and if you own a horse do not work your bees with the horsey clothing or even have your hives any where near the horses. Yet I know a lot of people with horses and bees and they never have a problem. Where do you think this "old wives tale" came from. I have yet to see any truth to it. Have any of you heard or been told this or is it a New England thing? It must of got started some where because it is one of those things every one has heard of but they have no proof. Joe do you have any thing on this? Karen T-K *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
