This is my 2nd year with the bees. I have found them fanisating. We have done a split this year from our 1st hvie and are waiting on two more nucs to start two more hives. I really enjoy this site and the information that I have read and learn here. I am not very computer literate, so please forgive me it I mess up sometimes.
Sounds like you are doing just fine. Welcome to Beemaster. . .
