Hello all, I'm a new beekeeper in Bay City, MI. I'm 31 years old, and my 7 year old daughter is to blame for the family's new obsession. I also have a friend, Brad, that started a year ago.
Funny, when I told my wife what I was planning to do, she said "this may be the dumbest thing you've done.... There's no way I'm having anything to do with this stupid hobby." Now, less than a month later, she's so enamored with the little ladies, that she's already made plans to try a topbar hive and fill it with Russians for next spring.
Hopefully, I can keep my girls going thru the winter, and maybe get a little honey from them....
Oh, I also forgot to mention, I plan on not using any chemicals with my bees. I'd like to keep them as untainted as possible...
