Title: New in Central Texas
Post by: Olemartin on April 18, 2016, 03:54:31 PM
Hello everyone.

I am totally new to beekeeping.  I was exposed to beekeeping as a child -- a friend in the neighborhood had two hives.  I really enjoyed suiting up and looking at the hives with him and decided that I would have hives of my own someday.  I now have a ranch in the Central Texas hill country, and I am getting started this year.  I have taken a class and read "Beekeeping for Dummies".  I have two hives that will be set up this weekend, and I have two bee packages that I will pick up on 4/30.  The area did not really have a deep freeze this year, and the land is presently covered with wildflowers, so it should be a good place to start new hives.

I have read many threads on this site over the past year.  I very much appreciate all of the hard work that the regular posters do here to help new beekeepers get started.

Howdy, you are in for a fun and often confusing ride.  Those gals never read the books or pay attention in classes.   :cheesy:
