Mary, welcome to our forum, so nice that you have found us. BTW, what song is everyone talking about? I think I missed out on something here. Is it the name in your avitar (Mares eat oats) This will be a great place for you to learn, study, get acquainted with the bees, before you get them this spring. Ask you questions, all are important. Have a great and most wonderful day, great health. Cindi
