The emphasis of today was saying goodbye to the Cakmaks, one of the heads of the bee lab and his wife. They are going to an Island in the Marmara Sea to work on bees. This project is sponsored by the Eurpean Union. Sami and Semi are also going. They are looking at and monitoring varroa mites on the Island, where there is a few hundred hives. They have a tremendous amount of work to do. We will miss them as they have been amazingly gracious hosts. Sami and Semi our guides and friends will be back near the end of the week.
