Hello, I live by cincinnati I am going to start my 1st bee hive in spring 2014 I could use all the info you could give thanks
Good luck. Join a local bee club, find a local mentor. Good info here, specific area info there.
Welcome to the forum.
read back through all the old posts in the forum here...many things have been asked and discussed already it has a wealth of info.
Welcome!
By the time you get your bees you should already be an expert. :roll:
It is good that you made your decision to start in time to get in some local bee clubs and have a chance to look in some hives. One thing I wish I would have done differently is I wish I would have put more effort into getting local bees instead of ordering packages from down south. I didn't know where to look so I took the easy route. Local bees would have been just as easy if I knew where to look. No, there probably won't be enough to go around but you'll get yours if you put your order in this summer.
Thank you that makes a lot of sense I will start looking for local bee keepers and asking around
I agree on the local bees! My second batch of bees were a packages shipped in and they failed :( had a great time with my local nuc hive i got though!
