Hi,I'm from northwestern Pennsylvania.I will be getting my bee's the 2nd week in May.I have a cousin that has a lot of bee and he's helping me get going.I used to help my uncle when I was younger paint hives bodies,extract honey,and work with the bees,and he told me he would set me up when I'm ready,well it's been some many years now and I finally,have my own home and a place to keep them.So just wanted to tell alittle about myself.
