I am a brand-new beekeeper... set up my first hive this May. I teach middle-school science and have always wanted to keep bees. I have lots of questions and am hoping that joining this forum will help me.

Hi Neighbor!

I live in Greenwich and I drive through Mt. Kisco when I visit some hives near Millwood on a small farm. If I can ever help you with anything don't hesitate to ask. It could be an opportunity for me to remove something from my garage...

Hello Joe,

Thanks for saying hi! I've been trying to sift through all of the information about queen-excluders and sizes of supers and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I was also just looking online a few minutes ago to find a local organization and a way to contact a beekeeper to actually talk to (as in phone conversation)... sometimes it is just nice to be able to be ignorant in person.

I am new to using a forum (yes, I know, I need to get with it, as my son would say), and am trying to figure out how I would contact someone specifically, say yourself.

I'm sure you'll find this forum to be a good place to learn more about bees and beekeeping.

As indypartridge mentioned, you can join the BYBA which hold their meetings in Weston CT.

And you are more than welcome to call me... I sent you my number.
