BeeAngel, welcome to our forum, that is wonderful you found us. Entering the secret life of the honeybee, you will soon be held deeper beneath their spell than you could have ever in your wildest dreams imagine. Take this winter to study more about the bees, which I am sure that you are doing already though. With your presence on our forum, you can study here too. There are mountains of informations here, use the search button for any queries that you may want to look into -- and by all means, ask any questions that you so choose as well, we are here. We were all once upon a time, new to beekeeping too, we asked those questions, and lastly, all questions are important. Even ones that have kept bees for a long time, learn by the answers that come from questions asked. Did you get the swarm that swarmed from your package bees? I think that was kind of interesting that a package of bees swarmed though, they must have been very well built up, that is cool. Stick around, we love new members. And...have that most awesomely beautiful and great day, of love, peace, friends and health. Cindi
