Last Fall, I volunteered to visit with Paul Limbach and Tom Theobald to write some Colorado beekeeping history. The two long-time beekeepers, both in their twilight, had just been granted lifetime memberships to the CO State Beekeepers Association. These beekeepers have been written about before, but as I visited with them, I came to realize the honor it is to have been granted a bit of their time and listen to their stories myself. Something Tom Theobald said to me last Winter has really resonated:"If you want to have say in what goes on in the smoke-filled room, you have to be in the smoke-filled room." That resonance amplifies as I find more and more people that regularly read Tom's "Notes from the Beeyard" column published in the Fence Post for nearly three decades.
