Hello!
After several years of casual interest, which morphed into genuine curiosity, which with the discovery of a bee tree in the yard, morphed into fascination, I have finally decided that I will start my first two hives in the spring of 2012. Now it's a matter of deciding what kind of hive to start - 10 frame, 8 frame, deeps and supers, or all mediums - and start gathering the gear. I joined a local club and found them to be very welcoming and excited to have a new member. Beekeepers seem like a nice bunch!
