  • Really a teriffic image!!! And as usual your intelligent facts for an education. Just watched a "60 Minutes" segment (in Seattle) this evening about the declining Honey Bee population in the U.S.! THAT's a serious concern! I'm going to guess "60 Mintes" slips across the border up your way???? Anyway, your presentation here is another piece of your wonderful work! Gary in Seattle
