Uninstalling previous versions of BEES

While uninstalling previous versions of BEES is not necessary to run BEES 4.0e, you may choose to do so. For all version of BEES, all files are contained in the folder to which you installed that version (usually C:\BEES[version]). Thus, the entire BEES program may be uninstalled by simply deleting its folder. If you choose to leave previous versions of BEES on your system, make sure to install this new version of BEES to its own new folder.
