This week we
will picked up the Bees on Thursday, I took some Pictures. I did not get stung
great for my first time. Professor Marla Spivak U of M Extension Entomologist
who taught the class I attended this winter stated that Bee Stings have been
proven to help cure arthritis, so I might want to try a few but I am not quite
ready. Marla Spivak has been awarded the prestigious “Siehl Prize in
Agriculture.
