V8landy. Welcome to our forum. It is nice to have new members from different parts of the world. This will be a place where you can share your experiences, tell your tales, we love to listen. So nice that you were able to sell of some of your bees. Next year will be the year where you can make more colonies, and if you still want to only keep a few, make a few dollars more, how nice, eh? Ask your questions, beekeeping I think has no end to the questions that people need to ask. No question is ever considered irrelevant or dumb, by the way, hee, hee. Enjoy your stay with us. Have the most wonderful and awesomely great day, Cindi
