NevadaBlue, welcome to our forum, wonderful you are here. I take my hat off to you, both you and your Wife, that you are taking on the loving caregiving job of looking after your Son, that is a thing of beauty, and a wonderful thing to hear, you probably have some very full hands with your Son and the farm. Being the keeper of bees will bring much more love and happiness to your life. You will find when you spend time with your bees, feel how deeply they will hold you beneath their beautiful spell, that you will be able to deal even better well with other things in your life that may cause sadness, bees can bring the serotonin levels to some very high points -- and this makes us happy. Learn and study really hard this winter how to keep the bees. I hear that you already must have been doing this, but lean on us at Beemaster, we can help you along the journey to get your bees, learn to keep them well, and one day be a most great keeper of the bees. Ask your questions, all questions are important, we were all once beginning at this too, stick around, we love new members. The bounty that will come from your gardens from the pollination that these little creatures of Mother Nature perform will be something that will make even life more wonderful for you. Have that most wonderful and awesome day, with that beautiful health that we all deserve. Cindi
