HI All!

I'm getting my first hive set up this weekend, and have a lot to learn still. A friend of mine suggested this forum as a good place to learn new information and to talk to other Beeks!

My husband and I farm our 7 acres, and raise poultry, beef, just got our first goats, we grow a lot of our own produce, and we've been planting fruit trees, berry bushes, and lots of other food bearing perinnials.

And now we're adding bees!

Hello and Welcome!

I'm sure you'll find this forum to be a good place to learn more about bees and beekeeping. Be sure to check out the tutorials on the main Beemaster page ("Backyard Beekeeping Course").

Are you involved with a local club? Clubs are great for finding mentors and getting connected with the local beekeeping community:
http://www.ohiostatebeekeepers.org/associations/county-associations/ (http://www.ohiostatebeekeepers.org/associations/county-associations/)

Lastly, don't forget to update your profile to include your location. Much of beekeeping is location-specific, so when you ask questions, it will help to know where you are.

Not quite self sustainable yet! but trying to do as much as we can :D

I still have to get my hive registered this week and check into a local bee club. I've borrowed Backyard Beekeeping from my mom to read - although I think my husband has read most of it today while I was a poultry swap meet!

Looking forward to checking out the forums more!
