I had the privilege to interact with Mr Bruce when he worked at Brockway Standard, I use to feed him sausage biscuits every Thursday morning, what a guy... His office partner and maintenance supervisor were my buddies!! Mr Winston, love ya!!

Great time. Seth has definitely got a great mentor in Bob!! A lot to learn from Seth. I grew up 45 minutes south of there.

Love the idea of having nothing to do all day but go from box to box. I get into the zone so strong that is all I want to do! I look forward to having to do inspections 6 days a week and probably going through my home colonies on Sundays!! It’s all about growing this season! Lot of splits coming.

Bruce, those were some calm girls Seth has. I think that kind of temperament is what we all try to achieve.

Great idea. Might be a little difficult to move as fast with a table but maybe not. The best thing I have found while working pallets is sitting on a 4 gallon bucket it bees box turned in it’s side. Helps the back and gets you closer to the bees.

Appreciate all your videos, got one question, you asked Seth about staggering foundation between bottom brood frames, he said no put foundation in top sides. I just did a few double screen board splits yesterday and staggered foundation in bottom brood to encourage building comb, your opinion....was that a bad idea? I'm in taft,tn we've got 3 more cold nights then back to warm again. Bees are slamming boxes full with this unusual warm March
