Hello from Maryland

[Rogan]

Just joined the forums.  I'm a first year beekeeper after taking the short course at the local extension service.  I started out with just one hive of italians which are doing very well.

Welcome to the boards Tom.  So do you just have your hive at home?

HEY Pikesville,

Welcome to a wealth of info!! Great folks here and LOTS to learn. 1st year guy here too. Find yourself a mentor to ask questions, it has really helped me.
I was lucky and met the President of the Delaware Bee Association and he's my "Go To Guy".

PM me and I'll send my number.

Tom, welcome to our forum, great that you took that short course, I know it helped you with managing your hive.  Good.  Next year, you can bet your bottom dollar that you will increase the hive to two, three......the possibilities are endless, hee, hee.  Stick around, tell us your stories, tales, experiences.  We all love to listen.  If you have questions, ask them, these questions are all important ones, we all learn by listening and asking questions.  Here you too will also make some new friends, this you will see.  Have the most wonderful and awesomely great day, lovin' and livin' this life we all live and share.  Cindi
