Hello from Tripoli - Libya

[Libyan Beekeeper]

Hello all,

I have been lurking for quite sometime on this forum, and I just thought I’d introduce myself to the forum.
My name is Seddig, I am fairly new beekeeper 2 years now, I run 2 hives in my backyard, one of them is a TBH, I joined this forum almost a year ago.
My start with bees was not planned at all, it started when I managed to catch a swarm while I was driving on a farms road, with the help of local beekeeper I installed the swarm in a lang hive, it was my luck that those bees I collected were gentle, since then I started to read about beekeeping, and try to learn as much as I can, during my search for information I came across this forum, and became a member so I can get access to the valuable information from experienced beekeepers.
Here I am after 2 years from that swarm catching I can say I can manage my 2 hives independently.
Thank you all for the great forum, and wish you all the best.
By the way: you have to deal with my poor English, I have done my best to compose this post without mistakes.

Greetings from the USA Seddig. Our English is good but you may have to deal with our spelling from time to time! :)

Welcome to the board and please share as much about beekeeping in Libya as you can, it certainly is a new horizon for most of us!

From the rhetoric that gets stirred up now and then, one wouldn't think we understand each other sometimes. So don't sweat it dude! Just jump in the middle of it and enjoy yourself! Glad to have you with us!

Seddig,

In the late1950's I assisted with some mapping work all over the country, but not with the oil industry.

Welcome Seddig. As well as you learning from posts from us here in the US, we are hoping we can also learn from you. If you know of ways that beekeepers in Libya do things differently, please let us know. Hopefully other beekeepers from your area will contribute also.
