Greetings everyone! A beekeeping Newbee just popping in to say hello. I've bought my first hive (collected by my vendor as a swarm last summer) and am waiting for a few days until I open it to see what I've got (not really - I was so excited I had a sneak peek yesterday. Woo hooooo!My wife gave me a book on beekeeping for my bday 4 weeks ago (Backyard Beekeeping) and I've been besotted with them ever since. I look forward to continuing my bee research and meeting some of you here.CheersAlpal
