Keith & All,
Thanks for the information! I do cutting and welding so the modifications 
will not be a problem.

The *we* is Glenn Davis (owner Bell Hill Honey). Our operations are run 
together in ways  but seperate in other ways. We go together to buy in bulk 
and even buy beekeepers operations out together. We buy syrup together and 
share a crew of help during the season. Each week we plan the weeks work 
for the crew.
We have been best friends for many years. We talk by moblie phone many 
times a day. 

If Bell Hill has a swinger or truck breakdown they are welcome to use my 
equipment until theirs are fixed.  

We are both retired but still run operations on a commercial scale. We like 
the challenge of beekeeping and working with the young beekeepers which 
help us. 

Both of us are not in the best of health (but we are NOT ready for the 
rocking chair yet!)and could not run our operations without the young 
beekeepers we hire to help ( or mentor if you like). All of the help has 
beehives of their own. The bee keeping help gets use of our equipment when 
needed and buys meds and syrup at our cost.

Bob
