The Red Umbrella

"In several of my videos, you will see me and others holding up a red parasol we refer to as the red umbrella".

The red umbrella was given to me on loan from our very good friend and fellow beekeeper, Ms. Annette of Placerville, California.

She is a dear friend and fellow member of beemaster.com. We used to lovingly kid her about her avatar on the Beemaster site, where she is holding it up in her avatar.

I had the privilege of meeting Annette on a very short visit she made to New Orleans, and she left me with it as a parting gift!
