| Does any one keep bees? I am thinking that bee keeping may be my calling. I am alergic to bees, but not afraid most of the time I see one. I know there is protective clothing. I need bees. I think they are so endangered that I must keep bees. I may need to go to school. Love, Betty |

| Betty, just remember that you shouldn't worry if people try to tell you you can't. Be like the bumblebee, and just go ahead and do it.

| Betty, I don't thnk you are called to care for bees. You say you are allergic to them. Should I become a high wire walker? |

| I think sometimes that my grandson may be called to care for bees and needs a bee keeping plot of land and that would be where I come in. I have no idea if he even cared a whit for a bee, but I will ask. Someone in my family must have a small gene that resembles me. Ann, I would raise bumble bees. I do not think any one does. Wouldn't that bee lovely! Me, the first bumble bee farmer in the world.!!!! Love, Betty |

| Bees, hmmmm. They are useful and needed. I tolerate them, but don't think I would want to be a keeper. I've been stung and didn't like it enough to want more. |

| Dear good heart Alice! I have decided to not keep bees. I will lure bees to my farm by planting lovely bee loving flowers. It is a better way. They can come and go at their will. Free bees. Love, Betty |

| One more sting and I've had it. I quit carrying a be sting pen; but I should. The allergy is a cumulative one; each sting brings you closer to death. No, I see a bee and make a bee line in the other direction.
I want a butterfly garden. They don't sting.
There is, however, a bee crisis; so I hope someone keeps keeping bees so they don't disappear. They are critical to our ecology. I hear VERY critical. |

| If my information is correct, bees die once they sting you. Sounds like a good preventive program for humans. You sting someone, you die. |
