Fred Hale is from Maine and a beekeeper. I knew him when he was here. He
moved a couple of years ago and is in a nursing home in NY, closer to
relatives.
When I was the editor of the State newsletter I took a picture of three
beekeepers sitting together. They represented 220+ years of beekeeping.
Fred was one of them.
