Aaron,
You did a good job.  EAS should thank you.

For the first time in over 30 years, I will miss EAS this year.  I have a
conflict of dates with my county 9 day long FAIR where I put on 4
demonstrations each day of opening hives of live bees, finding the queen,
dragging her out and displaying her to the large crowds that watch while I am
dressed only in shoes, shorts, Tee-shirt and NO VEIL.  I do this to prove
that honey bees are not aggressive, and try to remove the fear of the public
about bees that have been brought on by wild Hollywoodized movies about
"killer bees".

Please tell all my friends why I am absent.

Thanks!

George Imirie
