I am moved to respond to "Passing of a Beekeeper".  When I read testimony
like this it reenforces my suspicion that beekeepers are by enlarge a gentle
and noble lot.  None of us should forget that expert as we may be at many
aspects of life, we were once beginners at everything.  As someone who has
learned a great deal from many of you on Bee  L -  I encourage you to share
your knowledge and skill; this is how it can be made most useful. Few things
in life are as valuable as friendship.  Obviously, Irwin knew this and others
loved him for it.
