New beekeeper Shelton WA

[Brother Dave]

Greetings I am new to this forum and enjoying the  reading. I have three hives. 2 with Russian hybrid queens and one with a Carolinian queen.  Although I have in my second year I consider myself a novice.

At this time I am trying to keep my bees dry and fed.
sugar attracts ants and syrup adds moisture to the hive.

I hope to have good questions and in time be able to help others.

Welcome, Dave! What differences (if any) do you notice between your Russians and your Carnies?

[Brother Dave]

Yes my Russian bees are more defensive and take less stimulus to trigger an attack than the carniolans . the Russians seem hardy and are crossed with local survivor stock

I am about an hour from you.... We head down toward your neck of the woods to go quading. Love Mason County. I am a new forum member as well and will be getting my first hive this spring. So hello neighbor and welcome to the forum....

Greetings Brother Dave.  I am not too far from you in Lewis County, although I'm over in your neck of the woods quite often.  My daughter lives in Shelton so I venture over pretty regularly.  I'm a beginner, starting my first hives next spring and planning to take a class soon after the Holidays.  In the meantime I'm reading and learning as much as I can.

JanO good to hear from you. Beekeeping is fun you will meet a lot of fun people at bee club. I really like reading beekeeping books to.
