  How interesting,
 
Last night, I was speaking of my bee interests with a friend.  He told
me the same story about the "H" bee.  I thought that it was silly.
Then, I was checking over my volumes of mail and found this reference.
 
I too would like to hear any information regarding these bees.  I am
reminded of how smart my father is.  He taught me to never "Argue in the
negative."  I was sure my friend was recalling a childhood fantasy.  But
I did not dispute what he said.  And now this,  it could be real?
 
I  would like to hear any info on this subject.
 
Thanks,
