my grandfather is 83 and he loves to go work bees with me. he had 20-30 hives back in the 60's-70's but quit fooling with them. he gave me his old embedders and a dadant smoker that i put a new bellow on and use sometimes...i surely love spending time with him.

Very nice but makes me sad. Lost my dad 20 years ago at my current age of 53 to cancer. Your very lucky
