Vermmy35. Welcome to our forum, you're gonna love your time that you spend with us. You will be able to lean on us for answers to your many questions that will undoubtedly unfold, ask all questions that you need to, you will get great answers, and most of all, never consider a question to be dumb, all questions are important. Good, you have that green light, you will get your bees, your Wife will see how enjoyable the bees can be, and like JP said, give your neighbours a taste of honey and they may become keeper of the bees too. Yeah!!! Enjoy this wonderful day that we are all living. Cindi
