OLd Drone...ponders the question: Other then he is depicted as having a skept of bees as a coat of arms I can't find any reference to St. Ambrose being a beekeeper. Could bee that some sinful beekeeper in later years paid off a Pope to have the protection of St. Ambrose? Not wanting to take any chances I have directed a prayer or two his way myself. Can't say if it helps, but for sure it did no harm and is comforting that we may have someone special just to look after beekeepers. But I must admit he has not been that successful the last few years with all the problems beekeepers are having. --- ~ QMPro 1.53 ~ "Where there are fruits & nuts, there are beekeepers"
