Hi, Paul and congrats on new endeavors! Hey I'm not a beekeeper, wish I was (sigh!) but I love coming here and buzz-ying myself with everyone else's lovely girlies!
I'm in Kansas City but I do come out to Lawrence to compete with my border collie Eluane at the AKC agility trials, lol! So I'm just a bit too far East and too far north :( Now if I were a MACH (Master Agility Champion) like my friend in Chicago, Tim Dyer, you'd definitely see me pass through your area, lol! eb route to the other Kansas AKC competitions.
Anyway, have fun and hope you write often at our forum!
