I have just ordered my packages for delivery in April! I will be starting two hives and have loads of questions, but will post those later. I have hundreds of hours in reading from books to web sites to forums like these. Everything and everyone has been extremely helpful but there is still a lot to learn.

Thanks,
Mark

Welcome Mark and Keith. You have arrived at a fun and informative sight. I started beekeeping in April 06 with my son and have learned a lot here. I hope to expand my horizons this year with a little more experience and share them with the other members. Wecome!

Hi there-

Last Aug. I got my first colony of bees. You are very fortunate to be in a position where you already found the forums before you built your hive! I would suggest checking out Michael Bush's site. I'm not allowed to post a URL but just google bush farms or Michael Bush. You'll find it.

and do some research on small cell comb. If I knew then what I know now...I would have done everything differently. Also, beesource is the only other forum I've ever been to, but Dee Lusby has lots of info on small cell comb & natural cell comb. Good luck with your endeavor, and keep an open mind!

-K-
