Hello from a newbee located in Central of New Jersey

[tamhnguyen]

Hello everyone,

I am very new to bee keeping.   I recently purchase a NUC that came in the form of 5-deep Langstroth frames.

I am thinking about transition to either a 20-frame Layens or a Bee Barn style by Vino farm.

Is there anyone from central of NJ that has either one of these bee hives?

Thank you in advance.

Welcome, tamhnguyen. I?m in the SEPA but don?t recall hearing from anyone in central Jersey in my short time here. The hives that you mentioned are rarely used so don?t be surprised or feel slighted if you don?t get a response. I do believe that there are a couple of layens hive users here from other parts though.

As a new beekeeper, what help and guidance do you have? Keeping them alive through the winter is a challenge and will an important goal. An experienced beek would be good to help you with that.

Welcome!  Try putting your questions in the general beekeeping section and also use the search feature.  Hopefully, someone will be able to help you out.

We also have an alternate hive styles section where our members who use Layens hives typically post questions related specifically to that style of beekeeping.  You might want to explore this area.  https://beemaster.com/forum/index.php?board=96.0
