What kind I'm I?

Not as active as I'd like to bee in one of the 2 county bee associations as I
would like. But working a farm, building a house, having some time with my
kids, going to a night job, does take out of my time. I use to have before all
that 8 bee yards. But gas prices went up I pulled back to my farm and cut back
on the number of hives to less than 12. I still lobby the WV Legislature for
the WV State beekeepers even though few others do. Even got the honeybee named
the state insect of WV few years ago. And I hardly use the medications. We
practice Integrated Pest Management. My bees so mean the mites stay away.
