Title: Greetings from Flagstaff Arizona
Post by: Tomshell on March 23, 2016, 11:52:25 PM
New beekeeper here living in the Pines at about 7,000 feet. My wife and I live and work on the grounds at the Arboretum At Flagstaff. We sort of adopted the roles of beekeepers, and we are now totally hooked. We have built a top bar hive, a bee vac, and I really want to build an observation hive this summer.We got our first hive  about 1 year ago and it did fairly well over the summer and then didn't survive the winter. I have a million questions and a million days worth of reading to do so I'm going to start reading and posting questions in the near future.

Welcome to Beemaster. You came to the right place to get answers.
I'm going to do a search on this site for you for a great Observation hive. I copied it and built it and really enjoy it. it makes a great conversation piece.

Thanks for the link. Lots of great info here so far, and I will be more active once I get my bees and work slows down (ya right!)
