I was 18, away at school in Florida when I was caught stealing oranges from my 84 year old neighbor's yard. As punishment he made me help him with his bees. He had gotten too old and frail for the heavy lifting.

I got more education from my neighbor than I did with my degree.

I have had anywhere from 2 to 30 hives over the past 32 years. Most of my hive losses are from Veroa Mites than anything else.

A lot of people here are ignorant when it comes to bees.
