Hello from Ohio.
I just joined, hoping to learn a lot and then I'll see about getting the bees.

It certainly is an interesting hobby - Welcome, ask as many questions as you'd like.

Welcome. This is my first year. Without this board my bees would probably be dead by now but instead are thriving even in a drought.

Hey, glad you stopped by.  You can lean a lot just reading these posts.  Be prepared for varied opinions.  Once you get your bees then the learning picks up.

Welcome!!! Please consider adding your town and state to your profile. It will help us help you.  Also you might want to look for a bee club in your area as many now have mentoring programs.  -Mike

Welcome to Beemaster. Sounds like you are on the right track. Start going to the meetings as soon as possible and go to more than one if possible. I attend 2 different clubs and they are very different.
