Hello Frank Battistolo is my father-in-law. He passed away quietly last night in hospital. I don't know if he posted many messages to BEE-L, but if you knew him and wish to send a message to his family, please address it to [log in to unmask] I will pass it along to them. I will be unsubscribing Franks email from BEE-L this afternoon. BEE-L looks like a very useful resource. I know Frank read it every day. I wish I had it twenty years ago when I kept bees. Take care everyone. Gary Jacek [log in to unmask]
