Hello-
I found your site from reading Linda's Bee Blog, which I found extremely informative. I'm a first year beekeeper in Columbus, Ohio (right in the heart of the city) with one hive nestled into a corner of my backyard. I went through the Central Ohio Beekeepers Association Bee School in March and my bees arrived in April. I hope to use only natural methods to control disease and parasites. So far I'm up against varroa and the small hive beetle and that's what led me to Beemaster--to find a way to eradicate those pesky little buggers from my hive! There's seems to be a lot of experience and sage advice shared here and I look forward to learning from you.
Welcome to the forum!!! Lots of information here, real people and don't forget to use the search mode.

X2 on the welcome! Sorry that SHB's brought you to Beemaster. If you have not already, do a search and read the past threads about them. While you are at it go ahead and bone up on wax moths, another pest.
Feel free to chime in anytime,
Steve
