HI from upstate New York. My husband and I have started beekeeping this year. We have 2 hives and so far so good, despite the black ant problem. We are also gardeners and love to travel. Glad to be a part of this community.

yes we bought 2 packages from better bees in greenwich. great place. I did try the cinnamon and it seems to work pretty good, except its been raining for 5 days so i have to reapply. My husband is buidling a 'container' to go around the hive so the ants will have to go through it to get up the hive, maybe this way the cinnamon won't get washed away quite as quickly and the ants won't want to go through the cinnamon.
thanks.
