A big thanks to Michael Bush for being the first to reach this milestone, being our FIRST member with UNIVERSAL BEE status (no benefits but a cool title) and a few others close on his tail - but thanks for such great participation and incredible help and insight you have shared.

Michael is the the beekeeper who got me on track with foundationless frames and not treating my bees. Also I moved to mediums based on his advice. Plus so many things I learned from Michael when I first started beekeeping. I have to give Michael so much credit for making me a much better beekeeper. I so much appreciate all the help I received from Michael.
Thanks Michael for being here and helping with all your advice and expertise.
Sincerely
Annette

Congratulations too the 10,000 Plus status
But what you say is much more than 10,000 posts
IMHO its very well thought and written out
I like the fact that its backed by the time you put into the Bees
I read MB's page more than any other non forum page, when
I'm looking for bee,hive and related info.
I use it as my reference Library
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Happy New Year

"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."

This is the first time I saw the video above - just waking up after working midnights and hearing Brendhan's introduction of Mike (with me not even having coffee yet) was kinda like chewing a mouthful of aluminum foil with a mouthful of fillings - eeeeek! Imagine if Michael were left alone to talk - Brendhan, here's your New Years Gift  |

Michael has certainly been a wealth of information for this newbee. Personally I am amazed at the patience he shows in answering the same questions over and over....(I have been spending a lot of time in the archives)...and also in giving attention to the questions of the overly enthusiastic beginners (such as myself). I don't know where his motivation for this generosity of time comes from but am grateful for it.

I agree with all of these comments. Michael Bush has been one of most solid no nonsense Beeks on the BeeMaster forum in the short time I've been here, and I know that what he says is trustworthy info from personal experience. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your knowledge MB!!!

Its great that Mike shares his experience with other people in helping us all become better beekeepers. I believe Mike knows that the bees need all of us to get them threw the problems they are having. Id like to thank all the mentors for their sharing of expertise with bees that help all of us help the bees.  It shows in your postings of 10,000 that you have a love for bees congrats !!!!!! |
