Folks, I'll be signing off of the Bee discussion group as soon as I figure out how. Can anyone out there please help me out with this? It has become too much for me. My in box is cluttered with messages. I know I have contributed my share in the past, but my initial enthusiasm has waned. It's nice to know the group is out here in case I have particular questions in the future. I think all interested beekeepers should have a good collection of books at home. I suggest we check in there for answers to our most common questions and use the discussion group to deal with less common queries, advice, observations. I must run and wrap tar paper around my hives - we received our first snow today! Waiting for directions to the question above. Marc Patry Near Ottawa, Ontario.
