 Hi Al, I was a little reluctant to post my problem. Too many packages is
a nice problem.I will not head east with them , but I can vision people
waving there bee veils to flag me down.
 I will be driving up interstate 5 to Tacoma then West close to
Bremerton.I have had some E-mail about the bees. I will get back direct
E-mail. I will not cancel out the extra 100 packages for 2 weeks.
 Last year in the spring , it looked very bleak. I lost 50 of 80 hives and
the 30 left did not look great.With gathering info from the BEE-L and
changing a few things that I did in the past, my bees look great this
year. I had 3 feet of snow on them a month ago and now its up to the 50's
F and the bees are bringing in pollen.It is wonderful to stand in a bee
yard , with the bees flying all around you.
Best Regards
 Roy
