I got stung this fall. I've been building the boxes (10 frame, mediums). I'm hoping to get started with nucs in April or May 2011 with the bees. I seriously thinking about the mite resistant bees from Glen Apiary.
welcome! another from the PNW :) where in Oregon do you live?
in your profile, if you would put your location, it will help with info later.
I live 15 miles east of Springfield up State Route 126. Jeff
Welcome Jeff! You've got some great beekeepers in your state on here...I'm sure you'll find answers to your questions!

I can't believe all of the information here. This is great.
Building boxes? Ya you are hooked. Building stuff is just half the fun. ;)

I agree, but after building (and cussing profusely) telescoping covers, its all migratory's for me here on out :-P
Welcome, I am new to this as well. I have my two hives completely assembled and ready to go. Now its time to wait. I am up in Corvallis, so we are pretty close. The Lane county Beekeeper Association is fairly close to you, they have meetings once a month. Meetings are held the 3rd Tuesday of the each month at 7:30 P.M. (Except for December-no meeting) Door's open at 7:00pm for the early bee's. We have been meeting at the Trinity Methodist Church although since I am new and have only been a few times, I am not sure if that will change. You can come a few times to decide if you want to join. If you do join they have several extractors you can borrow for a weekend all around Eugene and Springfield. I hope to see you there!
