Yesterday it felt like spring is right around the corner and it was high time to giddy-up and get my bee bait boxes dusted off and put in place in the backyard. Last year the bee swarms were out around mid March, but that is just when I noticed them. They could have been out earlier, and I just didn’t see them. Last year I caught around twelve swarms, but my partner in crime and I lost all but two. The huge fires we had here had a very very bad effect on our success rate. I figure that most of California has already burned, so next fire season should be at least not as bad as it has been in the past years. We shall see though. So the bulbs are peeking out and the bee boxes are put in place waiting for new occupants. Now all I need is it to be spring. LET GO!
The Winner Maker
by Jeff Bond

FREE for a limited time
Bob Fiske — the 74-year-old dinosaur who’s taught Honors English and coached varsity football for five decades — is missing.
To his Winners, class favorites Fiske designated over the years for their potential to “Live Big,” it’s heartbreaking. Fiske did more than inspire with soaring oratory; he supported their ambitions into adulthood. Four of his brightest former stars reunite to find him, putting high-octane careers on hold, slipping police barricades, racing into the wilds of Northern Michigan for clues about the fate of their legendary mentor.
Others don’t see a legend. They see an elitist whose time has passed.
As the search unfolds, churning up feints and betrayal and explosive secrets from the Winners’ own pasts, each must decide how far they’ll go for Fiske. Will the truth affirm him? Or has this cult of hyper-achievement spawned a thing so vile none of their lives will survive intact?
