Hi...my name is Deran and Ive been beekeeping now for about six months. I started with a feral hive and bought a carniolan hive shortly after that. They are good bees so far with no problems except some small hive Beatles. I have been around bees at my job as a land surveyor for a long time and always had '' the touch '' so it always seemed like the thing to do. I love my bees and will never give them up now that I have them. Anybody in central Florida that has bees id really love to hear from. I have lots of questions soooooo...here I am :-D
