Good Morning! or Afternoon! or Evening!

I will be starting my journey into the seemingly wonderful world of bees in the spring.  I have boxes made, frames ready for assembly, waiting on foundation, more equipment than I probably need, and I am looking to catch a couple swarms as opposed to buying. So, any tips/tricks/ideas you have are more than welcomed! I have been reading a lot and watching a lot of videos, and even though I probably have a lot more to learn, I think I am ready for this! Kinda!  :-D

I look forward to chatting with all of you!

Welcome to Beemaster.  The search feature here will help you with almost any question you might have. So have a look around and get comfortable.
Quite difficult matters can be explained even to a slow-witted man, if only he has not already adopted a wrong opinion about them; but the simplest things cannot be made clear even to a very intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, and knows indubitably, the truth of the matter under consideration. -Leo Tolstoy

Welcome Goldendog.   :cheer:

Have you looked into a local beekeeping club? They might have classes, mentors and help with finding a swarm.   -Mike

Listen to others but make your own decisions. That way you own the results.
