Hello All,
The Cramer beekeeping family name in Florida goes back for me to the days
when I got my first hive of bees as a young teenager for me.

I like the way *Doc* from the Florida beekeepers list told the Florida list
of Conrads death.

Doc said:
"Conrad Cramer, past president, member in good standing and long time
manager of the Florida State Beekeepers Assn. Apiary passed away today while
doing what he loved best."


Ps. A blown front tire on a bee truck is always a problem.  I will post a
few pointers for those which might not know the proper method of handling
the problem.

1. Aways keep both hands on the wheel.
2. keep in the slow lane except to pass so another vehicle can not get
between you and the shoulder if a tire blows.
3.stay off the brakes
4. Hold the wheel straight and slowly exit the road.
5.If the road has a shoulder drop off stay in the road lane until you are
almost stopped before moving onto the shoulder. If there is no shoulder (as
is the case many times in Missouri) stay on the road and set out flares or
reflectors and call for help.
6. NEVER RUN A RECAP TIRE ON THE FRONT OF A BEE TRUCK!
7. Try to choose roads to travel with a shoulder.

I have had two blow outs while driving at highway speeds with transport
trucks.

CNN is running the bee wreck story over and over today.

Bob
