NOTICE TO STAFF & FACULTY

To all those who have come to look upon

me as their "Honey man". I regret to

advise that I am out of sweetness. Broth@®
Jack is emigrating to Costa Rica to go
Beekeeping in a more equitable climate.

He may be exporting honey to B.C. by
February.

If I can accomodate your sweet tooth at
a later date I will so advise via the
"Mad Hatter".

Kindly note that local honey supplies are
in very short supply. If you like honey
you should buy now. Producers expect
prices may go to $1.25 per pound by the
new year.
