Thanks so much to all of you who wrote with advice on the Carniolans and
Buckfast bees... I really appreciate it!  Beekeepers are indeed a friendly
and helpful bunch!  I still don't know exactly what I'm going to do, but I
suppose I have until spring to figure that out.  I hope to have a positive
report then...
 
Take care, everyone!
