"So now you can understand why I'm pacing in front of this forum asking ten thousand questions every day. And, I keep telling my story because I know there are new readers everyday. Thanks for listening"

and don't stop jen, just keep firing away.

EDIT AND ADD:
amazing to me you have managed to hang in there for 3 years with all what you have going on, many younger beekeepers probably would have become very frustrated and gave up.  credit to you for hanging in there, and thanks for being here.

It's more the verbal fear from parents and peers than it is the sting.

That's definately a part of it. When I tell people about the pain relief from honey bee stings, a lot depends on how their parents reacted when they were kids.

I have met old friends and when i've told them i keep bees i've seen in their body language that they are physically repulsed by the thought of bees/insects, a knee jerk reaction.

They are not many in number, most roll their Eyes back a little whilst a smile breaks on their lips as they recall back to a fond childhood memory as they say,  Aaaaah I love honey  :P

In a different thread I said that beekeepers have infinite patience-----Jen is proof of the truth of that statement. :)

Nice to hear that you got the bees into manageable equipment. It is encouraging to see you still have a keen interest after all the trials and frustrations you have had to endure that was unnecessary.

Ef and Apis: Thank you very much for your kind words. I am a determined soul.

What is really funny.... last night on live chat, the chatters were observing the posts reaching 9,000 since the launch of the forum, it was a count down like new years eve. Iddee added on the live chat "Jen has 600 posts." I laughed.

This forum has added so much needed information for me as a beekeeper. I can't thank all of you enough.
