Langstroth. Medium to start with. Will add the honey supers as the season progresses. I think we're getting Carnolian bees.

Great to learn some things about you, dacjohns. But now you are more mysterious than ever! :)

What's the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I love a good mystery.
I will be watching for future installments to see what is revealed.

I need to check on the swallow. I don't remember off hand.

Mysterious is good. There is enought information floating around out there on me that identify theft is a real concern of mine. Combine name, birthday, and where I live and you get a good place to start. Then add in where I work and what I do for a living, that I am retired from the Army, all the other places that I have lived. That is part of the reason for vague answers. I'm also rather cranky and very cynical. That monster quiz was a killer and I really should have waited for another time when I was more in the mood to take it. Just like now, I'm zipping through this response because I have to leave real soo so I'm not taking time to think out what I have to say. You are getting the random thoughts in no particular order.

I started reading the other journal threads. There are lot of them. And I was in a hurry. This place can take over your life if you allow it. With working full time and everything in else in life I may not have the time to devote to it.

Remember this is fast and not thought out nor is it proof read. You get to see me unpolished here.

If you are so inclined you can find me on Facebook, BYC, MySpace, and some blog sites (not my blogs but family members).

Gotta go, I'm already late.
