Hello from NC Piedmont area!

I picked up my first 2 hives last week and am happy to lend a hand in bringing back the bees AND promoting awareness to what is really going on agriculturally with our monocropping system the best I can.

I want to do everything as natural as I can and let bees be bees!!

Yesterday I was watching the bees come in late afternoon and witnessed the queen in hive 1 come in from a mating flight, wasn't expecting that!!!

Thanks for whoever put this forum together so people all over can get some information maintaining colonies and I wish you all a bountiful harvest for years to come.
