finally joined a forum after almost one year with my four hives.

[flsteeler55]

I have followed this forum for two years and got a lot of great info.  Have four hives, one swarm, two packages, and one purchased nuc, all coming up on one year (installed between Feb and May of 2016.)
I am in NE Fl (Hilliard), not retired, but hope to within 3-5 years love the wood working side of beekeeping, also the gardening side and putting together a small workshop for building hive components.
So fascinated with beekeeping and all aspects.  Grew up on 10 acres in Pensacola and I think that had a big influence on my interest in nature.  It never left me.  Love your forum.

I am already in the Nassau club sawdstmakr.  Ace, as soon as I figure it out I'll do it.  I am also a forum newbie.

Ace, I lived up your way for 17 years.
Oneida, Chittenango, Canastota, that area.  I still have some fossils from that area.

Onion farms.

[flsteeler55]

Yep, in Canastota (and probably all around there).  It was good times.
