Mark, welcome to our forum. Didn't take much to peak your interest in the bees eh? That is commonplace, once the human being begins to learn a little about them, they are hooked, they are under their spell, and I mean this seriously. You have seen that, once you begin to learn, you can't stop learning about their secret little lives, they are incredibly interesting. You will one day have more colonies, keep learning all you can, this will do nothing but good when it comes to their care, yeah!!! This is a place where you can spend wonderful time, tell your stories, tales and experiences, we all love to listen, enjoy your stay here, we all do. Have that most wonderful day, lovin' and livin' life. Cindi
