Hehehe. I wondered who would bite on that. It's true, we have made many
friends that we never thought we would meet, and beekeepers fly to and fro
regularly now.
'Rich' is a relative word. It always applies to the other guy, not me. Anyhow,
I don't see a lot of hardship when I look at the queen and bee shippers in the
Southern hemisphere or Hawaii and no one is turning down business that I know
about.
