Thanks Dave! The Monk and the Honey Bee was the video I referred to. The
video is in the Midwestern Beekeepers library so maybe I can get the video
this Thursday night and review. I remember the part about Brother Adam
having to go and put on gloves because of the number of stings he was
receiving.
