Al, welcome to our forum, so nice that you found us. Do you wish to be called Al or Allen? Please identify. Two bee colonies, wonderful. We have a few members from other parts of the world and it is always so neat to hear of beekeeping practices in other parts of the world. This will be a place where you can have people that love to listen and give advice when asked. It will be a place where you can tell your stories, tales and experiences and you will also make some new friends, stick around. Have that wonderful day, life and great health. Cindi
