Beekeeper in training from N. Idaho!
« on: March 20, 2011, 05:50:44 pm »
Hello all,

I joined this website because I am a beginning beekeeper in training! I am a college student in North Idaho and hopefully will be finding a beekeeper in the area whom I could apprentice under, or perhaps even work as an assistant! I'd be pleased to meet any Idahoan beekeepers, and remind people that the first ever North Idaho Beekeepers meeting will be held on Monday, March 28, 2011, from 6 p.m. until 7:45 p.m.  The location is the Post Falls Library at 821 N. Spokane Street in Post Falls.  The library is on the corner of Spokane and Mullan, about 2 blocks north of Interstate 90.  This will be the first organizational meeting and a presentation on installing package bees.

Welcome Cap'n!

Scott
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;   
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won;   
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,   
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring:   
    But O heart! heart! heart!           
      O the bleeding drops of red,   
        Where on the deck my Captain lies,   
          Fallen cold and dead

welcome to beekeeping and this site.  maybe you'll find someone at the meeting, but if you don't, don't let that keep you from jumping in. 
Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.
