Bucks County PA New Bee Keeper
« on: July 15, 2014, 02:52:59 pm »
First year bee Keeper. I started with two Mann Lake northern California packages at the end of March.  Bee Inspector on 7/4/14 said both hives in the normal range.  I went all new supers with plastic frames.  Last winter I took the cooperative extension bee keeping class and was hooked great class (I got 34/50 on the online bee test). I am an ag professional as well as an educator (math). Located in central Bucks County, PA a few miles from where Washington crossed the Delaware. This is a family affair.  Wife and daughter are as interested in the bees as I am.

I am also a new bee keeper from PA, but I am in the middle of the state, near State College.
