CATCH THE BUZZ Pollinator Week

 

CATCH THE BUZZ

The announcement below says it all

 

I’ve been away from the office and the computer for more time than usual over the last few weeks so I’ve missed getting some things out, and just plain  missed some things. Here’s one that’s almost late, but even if you can’t make the festivities it’s good to know someone is charging ahead.
