« on: January 24, 2015, 11:17:37 am »
Hi, my name is Rod, I live in Grand Rapids MI. Started out with 2 cutouts in 2008, been keeping bees from there on.
I have been practicing Mel Disselkoen's OTS system for splits and mite control for 3 years.
Throughly enjoy being following forums as far as I'm concered, if you stop learning about beekeeping, you are doing a disservice to your bees.There's always something being thrown around to make things easier and/or better!
Regards
Rod

Welcome!

 if you stop learning about beekeeping, you are doing a disservice to your bees.

    Agreed! Its also very engaging to read the questions of others, and think about what YOU would do.
