I'm exactly the same.I don't spend any time on this forum anymore but felt the need to comment on the sad loss of Pete Little,
I was lucky enough to spend a sunday morning with him many years ago. Thought I was popping in quickly to pick up a queen breeder - but as many on here will attest - he loved to talk bees, and his family. Well after a couple of hours chatting we went to look at the colonies I would be collecting a queen from - and it's one of the few apiaries where a veil was not required. Did we need a smoker? well -only his roll ups from memory. I think I only got away in the end because Sunday lunch was ready, and the family had started to arrive...
He was a true gent. Not spoken for years, but will miss him anyway.
RIP HM.
