Special Thanks to.....

[VolunteerK9]

everyone on here that has posted a video or tutorial here on Beemaster. I have been interested in Beekeeping for the past several years, but it want until the Fall of last year that everything fell into place and I bought my first of six packages. A search on Youtube netted me Beemasters tutorial on "Package Installaton" that brought me to this forum. Now over a year later, Ive caught a few swarms, did a cutout or two and currently working on my first Iddee'ized trapout and preparing to start my second. I dont think that I would have been as comfortable in taking on some of these things without the help of the Beemaster forums and videos posted by some of you guys.

To all other recently joined Newbees: Its a free country and do what you choose, but it is my opinion that you will not find a better beekeeping forum on the net.

Thanks for everything and keep them coming.

I couldn't agree with you more. This has been a fantastic place to learn.

[Irwin]

And you meat a bunch of great people to.

Ditto.  Ditto.  Ditto.

The knowledgeable people who poplate this site and their willingness to share their knowledge (and frequently their humor) has been a Godsend to me (and hundreds/thousand others) and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

I could not agree more with you K9.  I can vouch that the ones that I met at Bud3 were just as nice and helpful in person.  The forum and the relationships that form from it are priceless in my book. Thanks to all.

VK9,

I wholeheartedly agree with you.  As I mix with other beekeepers in my area, I can tell that my learning curve is accelerated and it's all due to the tremendous knowledgebase that resides in this forum.  It's been fun too.

I agree as well. There is an enormous amount of knowledge and resources on this forum. Thanks to everyone.

[iddee]

Yep, and I'm trying to pick up a bit of that knowledge too. Maybe I'll be a real beek one day with the help of JP, hardwood, and the others.

I was doing this all alone until I found this forum. Finally I got the advice I needed to become a better beekeeper. If you were to look back on my earlier posts, you would see that I had some difficulty in the beginning and needed a lot of help with the bees. I started out all wrong as far as I am concerned, but now I am on the right track and feel like a true beekeeper.

Thank you bee forum and John for making this possible.

Sincerely
Annette

I've been on other bee forums for a short time.  On the other forums I was attacked quite belligerently for some of my unorthodox views of beekeeping.  That is why this is currently the only beekeeping forum I am an active member of.
