[Ernesto]

Hello, my name is Ernesto/Ernie Garcia, I have been a beekeeper for 43 years. I am a biologist by profession, and typically manage around 100 hives at any time. I now live and keep bees in the foothills above California's Central Valley but still keep yards in the mountains of Northern California. I believe everyone needs something to keep them humble, and for me it's bees. I've probably made just about every mistake a beekeeper can make over the years so will be happy to share from my misfortunes, while gleaning what I can from others. I look forward to meeting and participating with any of you over relevant beekeeping issues. Ernie

Thanks Mike, I appreciate your willingness to accept the bad with the good. That pretty much defines beekeeping, doesn't it?

Thanks Gary, here's to a prolific year for all of us and especially for the precious minions we tend.
