I just finished my observation hive - THANKS Michael Bush for the inspiration to build one at the Northeast Treatment Free Beekeeping Conference. The hive is installed on my porch railing with the entrance facing away from the porch. The inside of the hive rotates 360 degrees so you can look at either side. I will put some bees in next spring. ...Tim   |

Kathy, the problem is that they are already afraid of the bees so I am trying to go the extra mile to make them less afraid... |

Looks like a good job! I bet you'll be replacing that rocker with a hammock pretty soon too!  Scott |

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
