Title: In Samsula/Osteen FL Starting beekeeping
Post by: rderr on January 10, 2011, 07:32:47 PM
Hi,

I live in Samsula Florida (halfway between Daytona and Orlando) and plan on starting beekeeping this summer.  I'm on 10 acres so I believe I should have enough room.  Any local beekeepers around to help me get started?

Thanks,

-Rob

Welcome Rob! I'm in Osteen (right on the edge of Deltona) and am here if you need me...I'll pm you with my #.

Make sure to join our club (Beekeepers of Volusia Co Florida) and you'll meet lots of beeks in our area. We meet once a month at the Ag center at the fairgrounds.

I'm heading out of town until the 18th.  I planned on ordering the equipment before I leave and be ready when I get back.  Is that too late?
