Mike, welcome to our forum, so wonderful that you found us. That must be a hard day, that day your Grandfather passed. His wish for you to take on his bees, care for them, and save the bees is the most beautiful thing. He has given you a job to do, and it sounds like you are taking his last wishes very seriously. That is just so beautiful. Stick around Mike, your Grandfather was very wise in his instruction to you, carry forward this wish with deep integrity. This will be a place where you can learn and learn, a place where you can lean on us to help you to carry forward your Grandfather's request. This will be a place where you can tell us your stories, tales, experiences, we love to listen -- and we love to help. Every time you will be working with your Grandfather's bees, you will think of him, and I am sure that these will be very fond memories for you -- he will be watching and be very proud of you. Have that most wonderful day, lovin' and livin' our great life with great health. Cindi
