Thanks Dana. My Dad was a beekeeper also - kept 4 or 5 hives for years. My Mom's father and uncle had about 30 hives at one point, that's where Dad learned about beekeeping. A swarm showed up last year in one of his old empty hives and I thought that maybe that was a sign, a gift from him. He's been gone for 3 years now, and I feel him with me when I'm out there with the bees.
