Hello all!
This is my first year with bees. Got our first hive last summer, but had a gentleman maintaining them for us, as I just didn't have the time to spend with it.
This year we are going it alone. Making time to meet with other beeks in the area, and spending time online researching.
I am just fascinated with these little ladies.
I am going to start off by not using a smoker, but that may change as time goes by. So far I have been able to work in the hive without one, by being extremely slow and easy with all of my movements. But I'm sure I'll get too comfortable one day and manage to upset the little gals. No doubt they will let me know...
.
Anyway, looking forward to spending time on here reading, and posting, as often as I can.
Thanks!
