Another new beekeeper in the Pacific Northwest
« on: June 17, 2009, 02:01:08 pm »
Hello from the foothills of Mount Rainier WA. I've just received a feral swarm from a friend in a Warré hive and I'm reading everything bee-related I can find. I'm sure I'll find lots of good information here, so thanks for having me.

Irene,

Welcome to the group.  Nice to have another member with free bees in something other than the standard hive.  Be sure to tell us how things are going after you have had them for a couple of weeks/months.  I hope that you will get involved here and enjoy your on-line experience.
