Do you know what’s happening with your hive, what with the queen up to her stinger in drones, just droning about, when they should be doing something about colony collapse disorder (CCD).

Juno Boat Subject of Fireside Dinner
Imagine, if you will, a tasty repast, by fireside with the waters of Vineyard Haven harbor just a few yards aft from the window. And while you tuck into your victuals, pictures of boats and black dogs spotting the walls, a bearded man with glasses and an ever present smile steps to the lectern. He proceeds to spins a yarn for your pleasure about building a wooden boat, and not just any boat, mind you, but the 65-foot schooner, Juno.
