A fellow pumpkin growers son is doing a large bee population project for eagle scouts...I figure I would research and am now interested...I have heard see what is like and I just found out a family friend has a bee hive. I am 13 years old and will be 14 in may. Since I grow giant pumpkins I probly won't raise bees this year, but plan on finding some land for 2010 and put a hive where my pumpkin patch is now. Thanks best bee web site by far I have found.

thanks

Boy...I wish I could have started at a young age....I only got into the keeping of the girls after retirement. I too do a lot of reading and listening....maybe you could find the nearest bee club near you....older beeks will welcome you and maybe give you a "hands on" lesson or two. Anyway, welcome, good luck with the pumkins and bees too. Seen a program where the giant pumkins were hollowed out and then used as a "boat" and paddled across a waterway. Only tomatoes here.....lol

I know Gus the sqaushcarver. His website is squashcarver.com(hope I could say that) He does many carvings all over the place. Anyway My plan is to take care of bees with a family friend before I start saving up for a hive of my own to make sure I like it.
