Kim Flottum (Growing Planet Media)

Richard (former National Bee Inspector for England & Wales) started beekeeping in 1983 helping a small bee farmer and then with his own bees in 1984. After retirement from a previous career in 1996 he was appointed as a Seasonal Bee Inspector for the National Bee Unit with respon­sibility for Surrey and Sussex. Then in 1999 as Regional Bee Inspector for the South West of England, moving to Colaton_Raleigh in Devon and in April 2006 to National Bee Inspector having responsibility for the Bee Inspection Service for England and Wales. He retired from this post in 2009 continuing within the Bee Unit as an Extension Officer until finally retiring at the end of 2011.

Following the discovery of pyrethroid resistant varroa mites in Devon during 2001 he has tried to raise awareness of the importance of Integrated Pest Management for mite control along with other bee disease issues.

Richard still keeps bees and is Chairman of the Devon Apicultural Research Group. His current bee interests include identifying pollen collected by bees and the effects of climate change on the cycle of honeybees in SW England. He has lectured throughout the United Kingdom and also in the Republic of Ireland, Malta and Romania.

This passes the etiquette for a formal day occasion—better if you tailor it.
Size: Small, Color: Grey
Speaking to Americans here. Size S fits a perfect "walmart small". (tall) But the waist of the jacket is boxy. If you went to a tailor, and had the waist fitted for 80 freedom-eagles, you'd still come out ahead. This is great quality for three-piece suit. I'm skipping the vest, as it has no special features that pair it with morning suit. It's just a cheap, shiny prom-rental vest. Trouser waist is a perfect fit. Fabric feels genuine for a lightweight summer suit. Contrary to some of the illustrations, the trousers fit on the "natural waist', not the "blue jeans waist". This means you need to pull them up, like formal wear of the 20th century, so the ankles don't puddle. Wear the trousers with suspenders. The hem of the trousers is funky. But traditionally, you have that finished by a tailor as well.

Good suit and worth every penny
Size: X-Large, Color: Grey
For the price it's Pretty good and Nice quality. Normally one of this Quality if $300 and up. Only thing is, if your a Xl but not slim you may need a larger size. But if your Medium to slim it's a good fitting suit

My son (17) ordered this suit to wear to Prom (2 weeks before) and it was a hit! Great Quality and great fit! He even convinced a few of his friends to buy their suits here too! Would purchase again for sure!
