This is the place to introduce yourself and here I am. I haven't started bee keeping yet, but really am interested in trying next year.
Anyways not much else to say, though I should have a lot of questions in the future.

Thanks
Chad

Welcome. I have not started yet and have been part of the forums for a couple of months. You can learn al ot from all the people hear and will have a good understanding of the basics before you get started.

Thanks so much everyone. I think the biggest problem for me will be finding bees suited to my area. I dont know of anyone in Ohio who sells any, as far as obtaining swarms.... It was ten years ago the last time I saw a honey bee in my gardens and this year was a first for me. I saw two of them on one day and thats it.

I guess I will ask around a bit and see what I can come up with. BTW My winter project is to build my own hives and one for a friend of mine. Should keep me busy.
Thanks

Hi EOC and welcome!

You may want to check for a local beekeeping club. They may have some info of a local breeder or one in the region. If you need it here's a link to the states website.
