Ken Lawrence echoes my sentiments exactly when he speaks of nice beekeepers.
I have only recently started beekeeping here in the Emerald Isle and I have
made more genuine friends in the last 6 months than I have in the previous
30 years.
 
Maybe it is because we live so close to nature that we really enjoy each
others company.
 
The BEE line is an excellent example (if one were needed) of how beekeepers
sit down at their computers and type in long well thought out helpful
messages to people they may never meet.
 
In an increasingly selfish world, I am selfish enough to think that
beekeepers have (perhaps with the strange assistance of the lovely little
insects which we all adore) managed to break through the Selfish Barrier!.
 
Anyway enough of the Philosophy!
 
It is a splendid lovely activity which benefits nature and all who partake
in it.
 
Sincerely
