I don't have bees yet, but I am getting some next year. I am spending this season, reading, learning, going to bee clubs, and trying to get help from anyone I can who is already doing beekeeping. I have a cousin nearby that has some, and have met a few very nice beekeepers from different forums that have told me I can come watch them work their bees! So fun. So, nice to meet you all, and I will be around! :)
