He could rarely remember my name without difficulty, and always walked with a shuffle. The bees were located in his back yard, and sat on cement blocks...long ago grown deeply embedded into the sod. Well, we moved the bees to a new yard, and the time came to remove the blocks from their entrapment in the turf. At best it would take a couple hours of struggle for me and my helper. When we arrived at the yard to do the job, we were a bit taken back. All the cement blocks were in neat rows...on top of the sod...ready to be loaded onto the truck. When I asked Curtis how he had ever managed such a feat, his reply taught this...at the time...young beekeeper a valuable lesson. "One at a time, Michael." Inch by inch, row by row...eh Lloyd?
