I am starting my 3rd year with the bees. I started with 2 hives and collected swarms and received bees form one cutout, which brings me up to 7 hives. 7 hives if they all survived the recent cold spell.
I wanted to start keeping bees because I wanted some honey, hope I get some this year. They swarmed too many times last year.
How I got started: A very generous master beekeeper invited me down to his hives, I just sat and watched the bees come and go. The next trip we went into a hive. He has taught me many things about bees, cutouts and trapouts.
Many Thanks,
Ski
