You can run, but you can't hide! I found you! I see a lot of familiar names here. Some of you may know me as srvfantexasflood. I decided new forum, new ID.
I've been keeping bees since 2008, so compared to most of you, I am a beginner. My interest in bees grew out of my lifelong gardening and nature interests. I am currently the secretary of my local beekeeping club and am a strong advocate of beekeepers utilizing any local clubs that might be available to them.
For the last 21 years I have worked at a children's home in the food service department. I am currently the lead cook, but divide my time between preparing meals, baking, decorating birthday cakes, chairing a cultural diversity committee, answering questions and supervising teenagers. In my free time I garden and I am learning to play the fiddle. I have played a musical instrument, of some type, almost all my life. Taking up the fiddle is an attempt to keep the brain young.
I have a husband that allows me to play with bees, children and some of the smartest darned grandchildren around.
