Read moreTristan informed me with knowledgeable facts regarding bees. He was able to come out the same day as my enquiry. Even though the bees decided to relocate, Tristan made the effort to come out to check out where the bees had relocated, even provided us with his home made honey. Experience that I will not forget, and thanks for Tristan for educating me.
