I just joined this forum, and I'm glad to be able to have access to so many people with so much knowledge.
No hives yet, but I'm planning to put out six next spring. A good friend of mine has 37 hives and is showing me the ropes. Basically, I spend all of my spare time trying to learn about honey bees.
Thanks AB. My plan for starting with six hives is because I have three different places to put two hives. One person grows and sells a lot of produce at a local farmers market. Another is a friend of mine with five acres of grass land and a large garden. I also plan to put two hives on some family land (about 75 acres) with a lot of wooded land and wild blackberries and persimmon trees. Hopefully I'll learn a lot my first year. A good friend of mine has 37 hives and is showing me the ropes. He sells a lot of honey at a large farmers market in Tulsa.
This is a great place to find lots of info. Of course like opinions, and belly buttons everyone has one. Take your time with your friend and learn as much as you can. When you can read as many post here as you can. Much can be learned from people here.
Enjoy.
