Dan and Jan,
 
   Those places may seem "worlds apart," but they are really only "states
apart" (or will be once we incorporate Alberta(!)   ;-)
 
   Your point is well taken, the members of this list do represent the
whole world, and beekeeping is often a very local thing.  (We need to
remember to add "USA" to our addresses now!)  I do enjoy the input from
the "worlds apart," however, and learn a lot.  This exchange between very
different environments and cultures helps us all to grow!
 
   Happy holidays to all!
