Hello from LA - Lower Alabama

ElectricVette · July 13, 2009, 03:21:20 PM

My 9yo son and I got bee hives for Christmas. We installed our package the second week in June. Right now we are still learning and trying to understand the things we see. I hope to learn a lot here and one day be able to contribute as well.

Take care,
EV

Congratulations on the bees and glad you found the forum. This is the best place to learn about the bees and get any help you need.

Just keep us informed how they are doing and ask away

Sincerely
Annette

Clarke County - about 70mi north of Mobile. How about you?

Welcome and I wish you and your son all the luck in bekeeping! IMO its a great experiance (less the stings) and should make for a wonderful bonding experiance for both of you. Mobile is a really good area for bees, long forage season and plenty of good nectar producers.

I'm about 20 miles north of Auburn in a small town call Beulah.

Good to have another Alabamian! I'm in the northwest, about 65 miles north of Birmingham. Welcome aboard ElectricVette :rainbowflower:

Welcome! :)
Its great to have you here.
My 6 year old son and I just go our first hives this year as well.
Now the other kids are interested so we'll see where it goes.
I wish you both the best of luck with your new hives.
