Sure Bob, I was around in the seventies and eighties too. I was one of the
commercial beekeepers who didn't make it. I dropped out of bees altogether
for ten years. Then, I came back to help do research at Cornell's bee lab.

I am trying to keep the stories alive, so that they won't be lost with us.
Whether they are kept in books, or here at Bee-L or are repeated around
the camp fires, the stories will be remembered, only if they are heard.
