Jeff and Anita, welcome to our forum. Now isn't that just nice that you and your dear Wife are going to start to keep bees, together. I think that is wonderful. You have found the best place to hang out, to learn how to keep the bees, a place where you can ask questions, all questions are so important, always ask ANY that come to your minds, both of you. This will be a place where you can tell us your stories, tales, experiences, they don't even have to be about bees, we love to listen to stories, and are a very friendly group, this you will see. Stick around. Have a most wonderful and awesome day, love our life, health. Cindi
