It must be the low light and long winter nignts that get some of our members a little frustrated..We had a flame war about this time last year PLEASE CHILDREN STOP THE SQUABBLING. I for one look forward to ALL discussions and quickly know where a thread is going and if I'm not interested I have a good wastebasket. I have learned a lot from this list and have requested help on two occasions and received great advice THANK YOU MEMBERS One of the strengths of this list, in my opinion ,is the diversity of it's members. The very fact that we have commercial, hobbiests, scientiests, casual, intensive people keeping bees from Sweden, UK, Hawaii, Alberta, Ontario, Kansas, North Carolina, Mass, etc.... All of us try to figure out what these interesting, frustrating and challanging critters called bees are going to do next.. I sometimes feel like a hound dog chasing a rabbit .. just when I think I might know where they are going they hop to the side... Humility from Mother nature is Her way KEEP DISCUSSING AND NOT CUSSING Dan Veilleux Columbus , Ohio USA , Janet Montgomery 104 Fallis Road Columbus, Ohio 43214-3724 Home: (614) 784-8334 FAX: (614) 268-3107 E-mail: [log in to unmask]
