Years ago I bought the bees of an ancient beekeeper. He could rarely
remember my name without difficulty, and always walked with a shuffle. The
bees were located in his back yard, and sat on cement blocks...long ago
grown deeply embedded into the sod.
Well, we moved the bees to a new yard, and the time came to remove
the blocks from their entrapment in the turf. At best it would take a
couple hours of struggle for me and my helper. When we arrived at the yard
to do the job, we were a bit taken back. All the cement blocks were in neat
rows...on top of the sod...ready to be loaded onto the truck.
When I asked Curtis how he had ever managed such a feat, his reply
taught this...at the time...young beekeeper a valuable lesson.
"One at a time, Michael."
Inch by inch, row by row...eh Lloyd?
Mike
