I have recently have gotten my long awaited copy of the Apimondia CD about
honeybees. I want to add or be the first to say that this CD is a most
impressive work of art about our Divine honeybees. I would encourage all
lovers of the honeybee to buy a copy of this wonderful production
<<<<<<<<

Thanks Walter ;-))
