I'm very new to beekeeping in fact I don't have a hive yet. I will be starting my first one in the spring on some friends land in Eau Claire county, Wisconsin. Their property is, among other things, a woodland plant sanctuary full of wildflowers, many of which are endangered species. To make a long story short....they understand, without needing to be told, the importance of honeybees, the fact that they're in trouble, and they welcome the pollinators. For my part, I welcome all of those things plus the challenge and the learning opportunity and the honey!
Hopefully, by being a bit ahead of the game, I'll have enough time to gather as much info as possible before the time comes.
I'll probably mostly just lurk and soak up all of your valuable wisdom until I have an actual hive to talk about.
Though...I do have homebrewing experience so perhaps I can contribute something to the meadmaking forum in the mean time!
