    All my girls are out in this very mild and sunny Dec day. Even one of the nucs I had doubts about have broken cluster and basking on the front of the box.Gives me a chance to have a close up look at them, they appear quite active and healthy. Yep, they are just starting to do the communal growl

Accountants deal with what is and has been whereas actuaries deal with what will and could be, one requires analysis and imagination the other neither.
