Rick, welcome to our forum, glad you found us and joined up. Wishes for your colony to come flying through this winter. Take the time to study lots about beekeeping, and spend time here too. There is a mountain of information on our forum. Ask your questions, so many will come and you will get answers, all you need to do is ask. Stick around, we love new members, and have that most wonderful and great day, health and love, Cindi
