Hello from the Heartland

Hi everyone, my name is Steve and I'm from the state of Kansas (north of Wichita). Just checking in to say hi to everyone and I'm taking the plunge this year into the world of bees.

I have gardened nearly my whole life and over the years my gardens have went from having bees everywhere to now it being almost a newsworthy event if I see one.....how sad. So I have decided to do something about it and join the ranks of everyone here to do my part and sustain one of natures most important pollinators. I look forward venturing into the world of bees and I will be starting with one hive this year (10 frame) and see where it goes from there. There is no doubt I will be expanding in the future and I have my beekeeping supply house on speed dial if need be. LOL.

So hello everyone and I look forward to such a wonderful forum.

If you don't have two you have no resources to deal with issues...
