Hi all
I attended a beekeeping conference this weekend and one of the speakers stood before us all and stated that there would be no opinions in the talk, only tried and tested truths, and on and on. I offer the following in response:

> To stand under the skies on a starry mght, to sail along great waters, to watch the earth crack and burst at one's feet with the mighty force of Spring's re-birth; to sit in a desert place beneath one's tent and see the sun bake and scorch all that is alive; to hear the drops of water patter all night on the leaves -- these are some of the things that call the Muezzin to men who worship Nature. An open hive is another!

> Yet such is the spirit of some that they dare to be proud and sure in the presence of such a mystery! Dogmatism is always distasteful, but in these matters it is repulsive.
