hello this james from Jonesboro ar. new to beekeeping brand new . I'm having to learn everything
about the trade. looking to get a bee package this spring.
Welcome James. About two years ago I was where you are now. Read, read, read. Youtube, youtube, youtube. You're at a good site, ask as many questions as you desire. I started reading the most current post and went backwards. It'll give you a pretty good idea of what's going on and also the different opinions. I recommend you edit your profile and put your location in. A lot of bee keeping questions are location specific and it helps to know where someone is.
Reread GSF's input it is spot on. I would only add for you to look for a local beekeepers clup to join as many of them have a mentoring program for new bees. -Mike
