Hello from the Show-me state. I have taken up beekeeping this spring. I installed my first package of bees monday and I'm scheduled to get another in a couple of weeks. I'm really enjoying it. You probably wont see me doing much but lurking and learning for awhile.
Hello from Springfield, MO Grasshopper. Hope you have lots of fun and learn tons this summer. This is a great forum; lots of topics and 100's of opinions, but some really great folks. :applause:
We got exactly 2" in about 3.5 hours this last time. I ended up with a total of 4". I checked the hive today and the girls are hauling HUGE loads of yellow pollen in today. I'm assuming that it's dandelion as my yard is full of them this morning.
Is there a bee club near you, and if so, are you involved with it? It may be another great source of information. You're just a little north of me, so if you need anything, let me know.
Thanks Bee Whisperer...yes we have a local club and I've already benefitted greatly from them. I also have a buddy who's mentoring me. I may pick your brain later on when I figure out just how much I don't know!
Welcome Grasshopper, there are getting to bee several show me state beekeepers on the forum:thumbsup:. I have 3 beeyards up your way (Collins, Mo.) around the Big Sac river area.
