Hello, and welcome to your new addiction!

You'll find this forum to be a good resource for learning more about bees & beekeeping. Be sure to check out the tutorials on the main Beemaster page.

I also recommend getting involved in a local club. Clubs are great places to find mentors and get connected with nearby beekeepers.

Hi, I'm in East Peoria.  The HIBA website isn't very good IMHO but we are an active club.
