I have made a few posts, so I should introduce myself. I am Allen and my wife is Wannipa (Thai). I grew up on an apple orchard in Washington, went to grad school at UC Davis and have been a honey bee geneticist with USDA, ARS in Baton Rouge, LA for the last 30 years. We bought 2 houses in HPP in 1990 and plant to move to the Big Island in 4-5 years when I retire. I am particularly interested in tropical fruits, orchids and bees. In preparation, I am trying to get rid of clutter (got a lot of that) and get up to speed on growing tropical fruits and living on the Big Island. I only get over to the Big Island every few years, last in 2000.
