Thank you all for the kind words. It is fun to watch new beekeepers come online here, start out, then grow and grow. If anything I say helps that process, then I'm happy to be involved.
As far as hitting the nail on the head, I've had a bloody thumb more often than I'd like to admit.
I've made most of the mistakes a beekeeper can make. In life and beekeeping, it isn't the mistake, it is what you learn from it. Words like that from Apis make me humble, he knows a lot more about bees than I.
P.S. Apis, I can't help it, I've always been..."Different"
