ef,

iddee borrowed my magic wand............

...............

..............

btw, about iddee and rat..........awesome guys, anything to help a member out. they are humble, won't take credit.......but don't tell them i said so......

you are a good soul ef and a valuable member.  as ALL of us are.  the other site didn't see it that way after it was bought out; and for many of us, we were treated the same as you, and some extra unpleasantries. 
i am happy you are 'solidly' here on 'both feet'.
ef, you bring  great knowledge of your experience with bees and a very positive, inspirational, caring attitude to this forum. i thank you!  i wish i could have been in dave's pocket when he visited you!
thanks for being here ef!

efmesch responds:  You would have been welcome then as you are now. 
     Let me know when you and hubby decide it's time to come and visit Israel. I'll give you the royal tour that will leave Blueblood anxious for his next visit.

thank you very much ef!

I'll get this off my chest----I signed on to this forum without, to my knowledge, having done or said anything improper on or to the previous forum.  From time to time I get an automatic email notifying me that someone has added a comment to a thread I was involved in.  When I try to enter the forum to see what was said, I'm met with a notice that says I'm blocked from entering.
It's insulting, to say the least.

Zulu, it was a pleasant surprise to see you writing again.  It's been too long a time since I've seen any posts from you.

Thanks Eff

I hang out still, read a few posts at least once a week... been tough few years with bees for me - each time I get them strong they abscond.  Too busy with work, Boy Scouts and swim official work to do more than one or two hives.

RiverRat invited me over from that forum...  I think I asked what happened to Iddee and Perry and he sent me a PM... I was a bit worried HE would get banned for doing that... So I more or less just vanished from there, but never got blocked... I peek in every so often and have on occasion tried to help on questions that were not well answered, but I will call this place home until Mrs' River spanks me for something, then I am moving in with her.
   
   So I have been here since near the beginning, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.
   Having this place to call home is one of the many delights of being a beekeeper. I don't think there is anyone I would not call friend... Even Jack...but don't tell him I said that. He would get all puffed up and we would have to wrap him in stinky plastic to DE swell him!

I am going to be heading toward that neck of the woods soon Mrs. River... A friend of mine bought a package business up that way and needs help with his house.. I will let you know where he is and what the plans are. Hoping it is close enough to enjoy one of Zweefs concoctions with you!

[riverbee]

thanks scott.

in all honesty, we are considering selling the place.  or keeping part of the land on the river.  this has been hard for both of us.

let me know when you are up this way or where he is. zweef is in eau claire, if i speed without bees in the vehicle i can get there in less than an hour........
