Hi i just started this hobby and am diving right in. I find this site to be helpful and educational. I hope i find someone fairly close so to have hands on learning experince. I am starting with 21 hives ( hive body and a shallow super) already with bees of which i obtained from a older fellow that is moving out of state at the end of the month. So i'm sure i am going to have lots of questions. Thanks in advance for all the help.

21 hives to start out? There's a baptism of fire.

Has anyone heard from PDMATTOX lately? With 21 hives and being a newbee, he/she might have gotten eaten!

And after all that studying just remember that when it comes to beekeeping there are no know it all experts--just sperts.
