Dick Bonney who taught beekeeping at the University of Massachusetts and
wrote two popular beekeeping books  died last night.  He was a humble
man who loved his bees, a great teacher and a true gentle-man.  I
believe his books will become classics one day.  Those who knew him
personally feel very privileged to have had the opportunity.  May he
rest in what was so sorely missing in his beloved Berkshires, a field of
sweet clover.    Bob Stevens
