Title: Hailing from KY and new to this thing called beekeeping
Post by: GoldenDog on August 29, 2014, 07:35:45 AM
Good Morning! or Afternoon! or Evening!

I will be starting my journey into the seemingly wonderful world of bees in the spring.  I have boxes made, frames ready for assembly, waiting on foundation, more equipment than I probably need, and I am looking to catch a couple swarms as opposed to buying. So, any tips/tricks/ideas you have are more than welcomed! I have been reading a lot and watching a lot of videos, and even though I probably have a lot more to learn, I think I am ready for this! Kinda!  :-D

I look forward to chatting with all of you!

Welcome Goldendog.   :cheer:

Have you looked into a local beekeeping club? They might have classes, mentors and help with finding a swarm.   -Mike
