What a good time! There were several good questions asked to which there were clear, in depth, answers given. I was particularly happy to see the number of new, just getting started keeps who showed up. A pleasant and varied group indeed. Looking back on it, Jen is right. There were a large number of women. I must be getting old as it didn't register at the time (heavy sigh). I even met a gal from the little town we live by that wants to start keeping bees! There was a also a trio from a town over that are new beekeepers! I have wondered for quite a while now if there were other keeps in the area, now I know!
Scott did an excellent job of orchestrating, setting up, making sure people felt welcome and involved, and not to leave it out, he did a GREAT job of answering questions. He's a natural. I can see him now, working the beekeeping circuit, giving lectures and so forth! I also want to mention Sherry, Scott's "mean" wife. Man, she was zipping around making sure there were plenty of food and drinks, that everyone was comfortable, taking photos, and all the "behind the scene" things that need to happen to pull something like this off. You both did an excellent job, and I truly thank you. My guess is that you're both a little worn today (maybe even glad it's over), but I for one hope it will happen again next year. My hat is off to both of you, take a bow, you deserve it! Ted
