Title: Hello (hola) from Spain
Post by: bitterbierce on March 02, 2009, 09:02:35 AM
Hi,
I started beekeeping three years ago in Vigo, Galicia region, Northwestern Spain. My mother had bees until I was something like ten years old but I did not participate, all I did was play with the vintage manual honey extractor. I'm 39 now but somehow that childhood honey smell must have made  an impression.
   I am a friend, and occasionally give a hand to, Antonio Simón Sopeña, a fourth generation organic spanish beekeeper, whose family introduced the Langstroth hive in Spain by the end of the 19th century.
