I attended a seminar at the High Springs, Fl branch Saturday and had a blast.There was a lot of good info shared and a lot of great people.One guy, I didn't catch his name, demonstrated a open hive inspection and I could not get over how docile those bees were. There were 30 or so people standing around, no protective clothes at all and only 2 kids got stung. He pulled some of the frames out and passed them around so everyone could get a good look. It was awesome.
I've been studing this hobby for 2 years now, trying to make my mind up whether to get into it or not, but I'm more obsessed with it now than ever. I went straight home and mowed a spot for hives I don't even have yet!
