I think I have taken the first step down the road to wisdom. I have realized that I don't know squat. I think I have manged to kill every bee under my control, in this, my first year. On the bright side, I have lots of empty equipment to put bees in, some brand new. Don't worry, not giving up, but won't be trying to answer ANY questions no matter how basic for quite some time. "What does a bee look like? I'm not sure....."
