Title: Hello from Southern Illinois
Post by: Dogguy on March 05, 2012, 10:29:26 pm

Hi all I am a total newbie to bees!  I Just finished building my hive it has all 8 frame med supers.  Still need to decide on type of frames and foundation, but thats for another thread.   My 3# package is coming from a local beekeeper in mid April.  I have read everything I can find and still have tons of questions.  I also have cows, chickens, a wife and two kids, thats children, not goats.

Welcome to the forum.  We have many of the same interests.  We raise cattle, a laying flock of chickens, broilers on pasture, keep bees and have six children.  (We fixed that last one by putting a TX in the bedroom.) :)  We used to have sheep and goats as well.  Good luck with your beekeeping.  I think you've come to the right place for positive feedback and good information.  I'm with Hardwood, go foundationless.
