Beekeeping is a fantastic hobby. Those who get into beekeeping often get what is called "bee fever." This is a hobby with many facets and gives almost anyone an opportunity to learn more about nature and the role of the productive honey bee. I would like you to visit often. I am a semi-retired commercial beekeeper, life member of EAS and the Ohio State Beekeepers Association, and A master beekeeper recognized by EAS. This doesn't mean that I am all knowledgeable about beekeeping. I still learn something new almost every day and I learn from those of you who over the years have visited these pages. Dana Stahlman
