Beekeeping is the art of

Harry, thank you for coming to my defense. I don't know whether I am a
keeper or a haver, since I keep only one hive and that one is only for
hobby, personal-use honey and beeswax candles. The one hive has lucky done
very well for the past 3 years. I DO wear gloves and can not foresee a time
when I won't. It's just my nature to be cautious. I was wrong in stating
that we never get stung though. One of my sons did step on a bee while
barefoot 2 years ago. No ill effects though.
I wish Good Fortune to all Beekeeper, AND Bee-Havers. And hopefully all
Bee-Havers will eventually progress to being caring Beekeepers. Linda
