just like to say Hi. Been thinking of getting some bees. Made the first step bought a starter kit from dadant. Looking foreward to getting the bees in spring. Looks like at this point we are getting Russians.
Hi Keith:
Welcome to the forums, just checking for updated posts and say you on. You sure will find any answer you may have as your bees arrive and start to grown and flourish. Sounds like this is your first attempt at beekeeping - I strongly suggest you us the forums to help build up that starter kit to a viable and productive hive. Beekeeping can be a frustrating yet rewarding hobby - the amount of time and effort both in the beeyard and reading can often make the difference between surviving and thriving.
Collectively we have a few thousand years of experience here to help either way, and where you seek answers, read along or offer your own insight, the members here are very willing to interact - we always enjoy new members aboard.
Best holiday wishes and happy beekeeping. Thanks for joining and hope to hear from you often.
