Brand new to beekeeping starting this coming spring. Never read so many books on any one subject as much as I have about Beekeeping. I have listen to countless hours of podcasts, audio books, webcasts and on and on. Watched more videos about bees and beekeeping than I ever watched about anything. The honey bee is a fascinating creature to say the least.
Looking forward to a great new adventure, thanks for allowing me to be apart of this unique group.

Don't be afraid to ask questions. I'm still learning and I'm in my second year.
