Just a quick note to those of you who know Bernie Modin.
Bernie passed away on the morning of January 16 after a lengthy
battle with illness. Although I am saddened by his passing I am also
relieved that his discomforts and suffering are ended.
Although I haven't known Bernie long I found him to be a wise and
knowledgable beekeeper who was willing to help others when he could.
He was committed to the concept of beekeepers finding solutions to
their problems through cooperation, and respecting one another's ideas
and philosophys. The type of person we can ill afford to lose.
