From Toledo OH

[bens]

Hello all, been lurking here for about a year.  Am new to beekeeping... starting my second season, and I officially have an addiction or obsession according to my wife.  I live in the city of Toledo and have a brand new hive in my backyard, I have 6 acres in the country and have 3 hives there (2 new and 1 one that wintered over from last year).

Bens, welcome to our forum, so great you have found us.  You have found you are held deeply under the spell of the honeybee, I do not say that lightly.  They have a way to make us want to be with them, to be involved in their little lives, it is a beautiful thing.  This will be a place where you can tell your stories, tales and experiences and will also make some new friends, stick around.  Have that most awesomely great and wonderful day, love our life, health.  Cindi

Welcome bens I also grew up in and around Toledo so we really need to get together and BS.  I now live in Chicago, but I always go back to Toledo a couple of times a year to visit family.  This is my first year of keeping bees and I am really enjoying myself the wife is also starting to warm up to the bees and not freak out much anymore.
