Welcome Ben.  As I understand it, NC is a great state for beekeepers.  As I know it, Worldwide Beekeeping is a great site for beekeepers.  You've made a terriffic match. 
Glad to have you with us.   :)

Hi Ben, I've been keeping bees now for 5 years. But I was on my own the first three and had many casualties. I came onto this forum in Jan 2014. These educated people really helped me straighted out my hives and I've learned soo much! No such thing as a dumb question on this forum. Welcome!

I have nothing new to add, so I'll just echo the rest. Welcome to the forums!
