I understand completely. the solution is an easier decision to make than
most I have had to make.

Family & friends think I should be like all the other *retired* people.

Allen has left the world a place of information with his website unlike
anything on the net. His posts on BEE-L (like mine) represent tens of
thousands of hours of thought. Far more than writing a beekeeping book.

My wife takes the most heat about my love affair with beekeeping. She tells
family and friends I am doing what I want to do and trying to get your
father, brother, friend to stop will not happen until he is ready.

As the season ends. (last extraction done yesterday & bees fed and early
treated) thoughts of quitting slip into thoughts. .

4 am and the day starts.
