Getting Started near Richmond, VA

Just can't put it off any more, picked up a couple new hives last weekend :D, with bee's waiting for the weather to break to be shipped in. Working on getting the area I plan on placing the hives in order.. can't wait.

Have been reading everything I can find, lurking thru the forum's... I am sure I will have tons of questions.
