Mimi, welcome to our forum. You have found the right place to learn and learn and learn more. Once you have become under the spell of the honeybee (I love that expression), you will find that you will be compelled to learn how to care for them, work with them, and have the wonderful benefits that they provide to us, as human beings.
Ask all your questions, all questions deserve wonderful answers, and yes, those will come. Never think for a moment that any question is dumb, we were all once beginning with the bees, and yes, we asked questions. I know I drove my initial bee courses instructor crazy with questions, but that is how we learn. Have a wonderful and beautiful day in this awesome world. Cindi
