Sorry, the angry wasn't for you. What makes me angry is the county assuming that spraying a pesticide is a good idea.

The problem wasn't them spraying the mosquito killer, it was doing it during the day. They had sprayed many times before and since without any problems but they always spray at night.

Don't be surprised if they are spraying for mosquitoes where you live too. If they stopped doing it, there would be an uproar over the mosquito explosion.

I know why you did it but I am the one that gets credit for your reaction.

Huh what??? I'll go change it.

Italians by far out produce anything else.

I had a line of Italians from Noble Apiaries that were fantastic and over wintered well without any outside help.

Unfortunately for me, they stopped shipping package bees.

I'm pretty sure they were Glenn Apiaries Pol-Line VSH queens. Tom Glenn retired quite some time ago. But you may still be able to find packages with Pol-Line queens still. VP Queens still breeds them, so I'm sure you could find someone who sells packages with Pol-Line queens. You could contact VP and they will tell you who sells them.

We were playing golf with a big group of people last night. There were two groups, in the other group a lady I just met had a bee fly into her mouth and sting her on the lip, ouch. She jokingly told me later that one of my bees stung her...lol If my wit had been quicker, I would have asked her for compensation...
