Hello All,
Belated holiday greetings. I was on the road Christmas day enroute to Texas. 
Currently in Florida in a remote location. Today is the first wireless 
hookup I have found. Lots of emails but no time to read.
The area is so remote I have not seen a TV program or even news for a week.
I did read Randy's post and want to assure Randy he has never offended me 
nor has others on BEE-L.
I am hard to offend.

Kirk Jones:
I am not far from your Florida location  and might could stop by but think 
you might be at AHPA when I am in your winter area. Things are strange in 
almonds this year. Growers believe (as do some beeks) that there is a glut 
of hives in top shape and some beeks are dropping prices which is making the 
market unstable unless you already have a contract ( WHICH CAN NOT BE BROKEN 
BY THE GROWER ) which means read the fine print.The below was sent on 
Christmas but only now reading . Hope has not already been posted but need 
to get moving and no time to look.
