I watch Tim on YouTube, Walls BeeMan or something like that.  Can?t miss that pink undershirt shirt and shorts.  He seems like a sincere fella on his bee videos and expresses knowledge.  He has a video wearing no protection, opens a hive and soon realizes a big mistake.  Kinda funny video.

He has been in bees for many many years. Yes he has several funny ones, has a good sense of humor. Loves to laugh. Showed one video with his son opening a modified shop vac and bees tear him up!! Of corse Tim is laughing the whole time !! He is one of the old time beekeepers. A really nice man.

Actually we don't even know if there were bees here in the first place, but we do know that there is a manifest that says they were brought her in 1622.  The vikings probably brought them back around 900 to 1000.  The Chinese probably brought some in 1421.

I did not know the Chinese were in America in the 1421.  History is not my favorite subject, but an important one.  I?ll take your word for it Mr. Bush.

I have been around bees a long time, since birth.  I am a hobbyist so my answers often reflect this fact.  I concentrate on genetics, raise my own queens by wet graft, nicot, with natural or II breeding.  I do not sell queens, I will give queens  for free but no shipping.

The Chinese left chickens in California and South America.  We know that by the DNA.  They left a lot more everywhere around the world in 1421.
