Hello all, we've been hobby beekeepers in Michigan for three generations now, and today we are spread all over, including Tennessee and Florida. Great to be part of a great forum like this one! We hope to get to know some folks and learn as much as we can here.

Welcome Eric. W/ a history like yours there should be alot we can learn from you. When you say that we are spread all over, does that mean you kin or your bees?

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! To explain a bit further, we are spread out both in person and with respect to our bees. My grandfather, Art, splits his time between FL and MI, although his health is deteriorating. My dad, Jerry, also splits FL/MI, but he also works for another company transporting their hives between FL/MI/CA for pollination and splits.

I live with my wife in TN, although our house is for sale and we are looking to move north back to MI to work with the hives there fulltime. Everyone confused yet?
