Sorry to post this to the list, but I have been trying to send this message to Gareth T. John, and I can't seem to be able to send it to the email address in his letter. Again, my apologies!! Dear Gareth, I got the documentation you sent me on Saturday. Very interesting reading. Thanks a lot!! It's kind of ironic that I got it Saturday because that morning I went to a big beekeeping workshop put on at the Ohio Agri- cultural Research and Development Center, which is part of The Ohio State University. They have a Bee Research Laboratory on premises, and in the Lab there is a Beekeeping Museum. Guess what they have in the museum? TWO W.B.C. Hives!! So I got to see a couple of them up close. Very elegant, but I can see how they would be best used by stationary beekeepers (like me)!! Again, thanks a lot for sending me the information!! Take care! Sincerely, Kevin -- Kevin R.
