I Met Stephanie of "Ultra Breeze" at the SNEBA meeting

[BeeCurious]

It was nice to walk in and see a table full of Ultrabreeze suits and jackets. The pleasant representative "Stephanie" was Bill Sample's sister. I let Stephanie know that Bill (magnet-man) was really missed on Beesource.

I was also happy to say that I owned one the jackets and that even though I never spoke to Bill, at times I thought about the guy...

How was that meeting? Wanted to go but been traveling too much. Can you give a summary?

Was Medhat Nassr there? Alan Dick insisted that he was and Aaron Morris insisted that Medhat was in Japan. Can you clear this up? Not that it matters much.

We had a pretty good mtng in Syracuse. A good turn out. We had to bring in more chairs. Pretty good turn out to the Saturday Workshops.

Yes, Medhat was there, but a little jet-lagged.

I believe Larry Connor said that "we" were 126 people.

It was nice hearing about Dave Miksa's queen/queencell operation...

I learned (or heard ) a lot about treatments I don't use.

Miksa went over all of the spice and soft/natural things he feeds or shakes onto bees and Medhat discussed formic and oxalic acid treatments. Medhat also emphasized feeding pollen sup and syrup (when needed) in August to have plenty of winter bees.

Larry talked about shipping 48 hour queen cells.
MP, you have my address .

This is my 3rd SNEBA and I finally walked away with something from the "Teacup Auction" ... a Ross Rounds Super that I won't be using.

I love Ross rounds.....I'm tripling my production next year (just from 5-15 supers ). I keep getting sold out in two months....

Maybe you ought to just try them?

Smart man, that Medhat is.

You should have said something when you presented your winning ticket. We could have made a deal. I had a few tickets in that cup.

My wife bought me the jacket Sat for Christmas. Serendipity.

Jack,

It was nice meeting you...

The Ross Round box was marked as a kit but it was just the super and supports. I have other things to buy before I shell out all that money for plastic rings and lids. Plus I use 8-frame boxes and the super is 10 frame.

The jacket is really nice.

Recently emailed Honeymoon regarding sizing on a full suit. Stephanie replied very fast and was helpful, professional and quite personable.

I ordered the suit and received it 2 days earlier than expected. Helped work a few yards today, one had 2 hot hives....my only comment is Wow does that suit work and it really is cool.
