Been to Sierra Vista a few times in my younger days (1976/77) nice country. Don't worry even the oldtimers and pros make mistakes and or lose bees, just go for it ,learn and enjoy and don't give up. They are a lot of fun. Jim
Thanks! Safford's not too far from me (I'm down in Sierra Vista). I've been there several times. It's good to hear from new beekeepers who enjoy it! Gives me hope that I'm not making a monumental mistake and dooming some poor bees to certain death.
