Hi,

In order to qualify for Agriculture Exemption to reduce my property taxes I decided to become a bee farmer. I have 40 acres in Panola County Texas and the taxes are $2,200 per year with no bees but only about $20 per year if I get bees on the land.

I need to have 1 hive per acre so I need to get up to 40 hives.
I have one 5 frame nuc now and and wanting to grow this nuc as fast as possible to as many HEALTHY hives that can survive winter 2016/2017.

I'll put the rest of this in a General Forum post.

I hope to learn a lot and then be able to share a a lot in the future.

Thanks,

ET
