Allen's "beekeepers diary" is a one of a kind from what I have found on the 
net.
As Randy said little has changed in the basic methods we use. The website is 
a must read for those thinking of making a living from bees!

I just came back from putting a swinger in the shop. Broke a steering 
bracket off the frame entering a ocean container.

My help said "What do we do now."

I then started my story time.

A long time ago before swingers and Bobcats beekeepers handled each box by 
hand.

You can guess the "rest of the story"
