Hello everyone, my name is Mark and I live near Watsonville, CA, with my wife, 15 year old daughter, and in-laws. One of my 4 brothers and his family live on the property with us. We are active in 4-H, raise animals, have a large garden, etc. Winemaking and beekeeping are a couple of my hobbies, and I hope soon to add beermaking to the list. I am actually a middle school science teacher by day, but also try to run a small plant nursery. I am looking forward to getting to know everyone, and will be glad to share whatever information I can that might help others. Happy beekeeping to all, and whatever else you might be into! Mark
Welcome to the forum Mark. Sounds like you have your hands full. I was not aware of anybody, or another beekeeper, actually having more than beekeeping as a hobby. :lol: Unless you count planting a garden (for the bees), going to auctions (to buy bee stuff), reading (bee mags), getting involved with youth (To talk about bees), and so on.
Welcome aboard Mark, glad to have you. Don't be shy about asking questions, there are some very knowledgable beeks on here. G3
