Hi all

If anyone is still listening, try this on for size. I have dogs, always have. They get a variety of ailments, tumors, etc. Now, some would say: Do this. No commercial feeds, allowed to run loose, outbreeding with native stock, keep wolves. 

But, I want to have a dog! Not a wolf ... He lives in the house with us, is completely non-aggressive, and well behaved. Same with my bees, they are completely non-aggressive, well behaved, right by the house where I can watch them any time. 

I work them without any protective gear, just a little bit of smoke. Looking at the videos of Dee hiving swarms, suited up like an astronaut, I think, what is up with that? This summer I shot a video with a swarm covering my (partially) naked body.
