As of today, my blog begins its seventh continuous year - close to 1000 posts - should be there by the end of May. I've had tons of visitors, lots of links (Google says that 135,000 links to my blog exist on the Internet!)
Mostly I'm writing today to say thank you to all of you out there on this forum who visit, post, and comment. There are, again according to Google, 6,700 links on the Beemaster forum over the past six years to various blog posts of mine. I've linked some of those, but most come from other folks, so I am very grateful for the support and fellowship of all of you. What a great forum!
I know I've been a little scarce this year - new grandbaby (that makes three), teaching, and all the many ways I am involved in Georgia beekeeping eat up my hangout on the Internet time.....but I do care about all of you and appreciate all that you have given me over these past six years.

Congratulations Linda on a great blog. I've visited several times myself.You have put great effort into it. And no need to apololgize for scarcity,grandchildren need to be enjoyed!!  Anybody not familiar with Lindas blog should at least check the sections on crush and strain and the homegrown beetle trap. http://beekeeperlinda.blogspot.com/ |

I still love the blog. It is like a visit to see the hives in the mountains or around town which I don't have.

"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."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

"Nay, it [this constitution of government] must perish, if there be not that vital spirit in the people, which alone can nourish, sustain, and direct all its movements. It is in vain, that statesmen shall form plans of government, in which the beauty and harmony of a republic shall be embodied in visible order, shall be built up on solid substructions, and adorned by every useful ornament, if the inhabitants suffer the silent power of time to dilapidate its walls, or crumble its massy supporters into dust; if the assaults from without are never resisted, and the rottenness and mining from within are never guarded against. Who can preserve the rights and liberties of the people, when they shall be abandoned by themselves? Who shall keep watch in the temple, when the watchmen sleep at their posts? Who shall call upon the people to redeem their possessions, and revive the republic, when their own hands have deliberately and corruptly surrendered them to the oppressor, and have built the prisons, or dug the graves of their own friends?
– Justice Joseph Story, "Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States," Volume II, Chapter XIII: Mode of Passing Laws, Sections 900-901, pp. 364 (1833)

Your blog is still the place I refer any new beekeepers who need to know how to do something. I still check your blog every week to see what you are up to. I feel a kinship with you Linda because we are both Sagittarius and both started our bees on the exact same day in April.
Thanks for all you do.
Love
Annette

Linda - your blog is one of the best I've found out there. Thanks so much for everything you've put on it and thanks for making it searchable. I use your search feature almost every time I'm on the site. Your experience and advice is invaluable. Thank you!!

I just posted the 1000th post on my blog! I find that almost unbelievable - this is my seventh year of keeping it up....took a while to get to 1000 and i've had a great time, as I hope I will continue to have.
