Hi to our Calif. counterparts, The thought occurred to me, has anybody made ANY attempts to try to find any 'boxes' that may have snagged on rocks, culverts, trees, etc.? I would think with the number reported swept away that more than a few would be left for someone with a little time to take a walk along the rocks. Hobbyist level guy like me would be more than appreciative of a few free boxes. Dovetail joints are rather strong. They may even still have frames in them with beeswax that could be harvested even if the honey/brood has been ruined. Here in Tidewater we find some REALLY odd flotsam and jetsam from time to time. :-) Carl [log in to unmask] Tidewater,Va. ... Contentsoftaglinemaysettleduringshipping. ___ Blue Wave/QWK v2.20 ...
