SouthernSun. Welcome to our forum. You operate a very large number of hives. Update your profile, tell us where in BC your are operating. I am 45 km northeast of Vancouver, I would imagine that you are up in the northern part of BC. You must have many tales and experiences that you could tell us, we are an interested bunch of people, and love to hear these diddies of life. Enjoy your stay with us, make some new friends -- and stick around. Have that most beautiful and wonderful day, Cindi
