hello from Central Illinois

[wendyIL]

I've had bees for 3.5 weeks and am totally astounded at how addicted to them I have become. I noticed a handful of Central Illinois posters - members of HIBA (Heart of Illinois Beekeepers Association)?. All the bees happy?

I'm from Montgomery county. Hi.

[wendyIL]

Brenda - - where are you in relation to the nearest city? I'm 30 miles south of Peoria.

Welcome to the habbit (hobby) and thank you for not beeing ashamed of where you are from

Location: Illinois

It helps a lot if folks would bee more detailed as to where they are located so then they ask a question the weather & other conditions can bee considered (ie Metropolis Il. or Rockford Il.) thats a long road

[Brenda]

Well, I have tried to find the place to change my location, and haven't found it yet. Seems you can edit everything except your location.

Not ashamed. Just cautious.

[wendyIL]

Not ashamed. Just cautious.

I hear ya - - there are 2 wendy's in my town that I know of - I suspect only one with bees. It would be one thing if it were just me, but with family attached you can't be too careful.

[Rebel Rose]

Yes and there are two Brenda's on here from Illinois!

I try to keep my location hush, as there are too many thieves and weirdos!

[Brenda]

TY, honeyman.

Born/raised/lived/work in McLean county my first 43 years, now live in Dewitt county where I now have the space to keep bees. Once the kids are gone, I hope to get even more involved w/ beekeeping. Went to Olympia HS (class '75) which encompasses some of Tazewell county(?)

Yes, this is a true addiction... I think I got hooked the moment I installed my 1st package.

Welcome.
