Cossack, welcome to our forum. Sorry to hear that your Grandfather passed, but look what you have gleaned from that. You are now a full fledged beekeeper, with a fair number of colonies for someone starting out. What a lucky day to have your Uncle by your side to give you hands on training, you are a lucky fellow. This will be a place where you can spend lots of quality time, tell us your stories, read our stories, learn, we have mountains of information here that you can have right before your very own eyes. We love to have new members and welcome with open arms. Have the most wonderful and awesome day, love and live life. Cindi
