Perfect!The other day I caught up with the man who inspired my trip…. A beekeeper in Vermont who raises Russian bees and is treatement free.We sat in his kitchen and talked bees and life and more bees … it was humbling to spend time with a master, a man who had never married, built his home right next to his. Cell raisers…. And was philosophical about the fact that out of 700 hives, this spring only 175 were alive… but that my friends seems to be story all over N America thus spring.The bees have taken a bad hit… no one knows why for sure… varroa, neonics…it’s hard to point a finger.So … I will leave you with that …. Make no mistake, New Zealand has it’s problems , but compared to this neck of the woods..‘We don’t know how lucky we are.’PS… I picked up a new Bee hat on Independance Day![ATTACH=full]1481[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1482[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
