Dear Bee Folks, I was saddened to hear of the passing of Ray Churchill, a well-known northern New York commercial beekeeper, about two weeks ago. He used to be migratory to South Carolina, in previous years. If anyone has a complete report, I would appreciate to hear it. I'm also saddened by the loss of so many old timers, without the torch being passed on. There are so few young beekeepers...... [log in to unmask] Dave Green, PO Box 1200, Hemingway, SC 29554
