Marcia:
 
Don't give up so easily. Think of it this way, you may be helping restore
some of the native population.
 
Myself, I like having a couple of hives. If I get honey fine, if I don't
that's fine too. I just like having the little critters around.
 
Besides, if you give it up, you will miss out on the daily BEE-L
conversations.
 
Hang in there!
