Newbie and Exited!
« on: March 03, 2012, 11:39:16 am »
Greetings from south Louisiana. Have been interested for years to start a hive beings I have been using honey instead of sugar for a long time. Finaly committed to get a hive started and in the process of catching my first swarm at this house that bees have come back to for years. Have a swarm box set up with about two fist full cluster and seeing if they stick. I would like to give props to JP the Bee Man who I just spoke to for the first time this morning and really enjoy his videos he post. I am an organic gardener and like to keep it natural because it taste better and that is how I like my honey plus the added pollination a couple hives will bring to the area. Have not seen many honey bees busy in the garden for years and wasp and carpenter bees have been mostly pollinators here but have seen quite a few honey bees as of late. Appreciate this forum to get some good ideas on how to make it happen. See you in the forums!

But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Hi

Welcome to site.  That some of the same reasons I wanted to get bees.  I'm about 100 miles up 59 from NO.  There is plenty to read and learn here.
