Hello,
I've been lurking this board for a few years looking for information (thank you!), and finally joined. I've been beekeeping for 3 years. We have two hives and have had two honey harvests so far (plus great pollination of our vegetable garden). This year, I finally successfully raised my own queen to start a new hive--we have only had one hive up until now. I anticipate remaining a two-hive family since I don't have time to manage more between career and being a mom. I love the challenge and benefits so far!
