Title: another new bee
Post by: alflyguy on May 22, 2008, 11:08:41 am
Hello from Talladega Alabama. I have been lurking around this site for a while now learning a lot from y'all. I finely signed up last week but only now got around to posting something. Thanks for answering dozens of questions I would not have known to ask. I've had two hives for about a week now and they seem to be doing great. The hardest thing so far is resisting the temptation to "look in" on them daily.

LOL Why resist the  urge? Now is the time to check it out. Later on it won't be near as thrilling as the first few times, I go in every other day just to check and see what there doing. Course it mighn't be a good thing but the bees don't seem to mind at all.  I have only had hives for a month. Really exiting time for me!!

Congrats alflyguy!  Looking is the best way to learn.  And welcome to beemaster and the beekeeping world.  Beekeeping is a wonderful experience and a great way to learn (and not only about bees).

Best,
Derrick
