Pat, welcome to our forum. Yep, you have found THE place where you will get help to update your skills, hee, hee. So nice that now you are retired that you can get back into the bees, you are obviously captive under their spell. Nothing else can say what these honeybees do to us humans. You will be surprised the memories that will be brought back from the cobwebs of your mind, and ease you back into the bees, knowing how to look after them, and the surprises that they bring. I bet you will have tales to tell, from those days of long ago, and the days of present day. We are an inquisitive bunch (and I am particularly nosey), we love to see pictures and we love to hear stories of adventures, and every day with the bees in an adventure indeed. Enjoy your visits here, you will make some new pals and you will get to know us all. Have the most wonderfully beautiful day, Cindi
