I have decided that I'm giving beekeeping a try. It something Ive always found fascinating and there is fellow at work who has been doing it for years and in talking to him, I think I'm hooked. I'm starting my first two hives in April 2007 here in Southeastern Wisconsin. I have ordered my copy of "The Hive and the Honeybee" which should arrive soon, I've been compiling my list of supplies to buy from Dadant and I can hardly wait!
I'll describe my initial plans in the proper forum and see what the resident experts have to say!
Here's my advice:
