This blog turned 2 on May 15th. I'd like to thank each and every one of you who read, visit, comment on, and/or support this joyous undertaking. May the Force be with you, and with the bees.
"For the bee, honey is the ultimate reality. It represents the fulfillment of her life mission, the triumph over her enemies, the continuity of the hive, the justification for working herself to death. Honey is to bees what money in the bank is to people—a measure of prosperity and well-being. But there is nothing abstract or symbolic about honey, as there is about money, which has no intrinsic value. There is more real wealth in a pound of honey, or a load of manure for that matter, than all the currency in the world. We often destroy the world's real wealth to create an illusion of wealth, confusing symbol and substance."—Wm. Longgood, The Queen Must Die

I'm a new beekeeper, and there's a lot out there. But it's your blog I keep coming back to. It is really wonderful. Keep it up. Hope to see you sometime at NYCBA.
A very happy Bee-day. A joy to us nonbeekeepers as well.
