New guy looking to get started.

Hello group,
I am newly interested in beekeeping. I hail from western NC. I have lots of questions to ask between now and spring when I hope to get started. Hope there are a lot of smart folks here with a lot of good answers.

Welcome.

You needn't worry, there are a lot of smart folks with a lot of good answers.

I had read several books, and this forum provides a more varied and practical information supplement to them...always something new to learn. You've found the right site.

I highly recomend you read "Beekeeping for Dummies". It has helped me a ton.

Hello and welcome!

You'll find lots of good info here about bees and beekeeping. Also check out your local library for books and videos. And join up with a local beekeeping club. Clubs are great places to find mentors and get connected with nearby beeks, and they often offer beginning beekeeping classes for newbees.
