I am a beginner with bee baggage. I bought 2 packages of bees last year, one survived and one did not. We had record heat and drought last summer, but one hive did survive and is thriving. I do not have a local association and am very happy to have this forum to discuss issues. It seemed to me that last year was the Murphy's Law of beekeeping for me. I thought I would give it one more try this year and bought 2 nucs. We have now had an incredible Spring and nectar is flowing like a river - I have honey to harvest in my original hive, and the 2 new ones are doing great.

It pays to "not give up" as you can see. The bees have many lessons to teach us if we are open to learning them. Welcome from Tennessee.
