   Yes, but you mentioned that you bought the lids for your bottles from a
different source --- one that could offer lids with self-sealing membranes.

   I really enjoyed meeting you and Elizabeth.  You may have seen the two
letters in the recent issue of BEE CULTURE that attacked Rosin's guest
editorial in the June issue.  In next month's issue you should see my
retort to those two more recent letters.
 
   With best wishes to both you and Elizabeth.   And, Aloha!
