I don't have any hands-on experience in beekeeping, though I've read a lot and can't wait to get started. One hurdle I have is that I need to change my city's ordinance to allow beekeeping before I can really get started. So far I've met with the Planning and Zoning committee and they were supportive; next the recommendation goes to City Council. With any luck there will be a new ordinance on the books in March.
I look forward to learning everything I can from fellow members of this forum. Expect questions!
