Hi everyone! My name is Pam and I live in the beautiful northwoods of Wisconsin where I work as a kindergarten teacher. I am so excited to have found this forum (thank you, Todd) and I'm looking forward to meeting new people and learning everything I can about keeping bees!
My journey into beekeeping is just beginning, although it has been on my wish list for over a year! I have pretty much spent the past year reading and watching videos online and last month I traveled across the state to attend a seminar hosted by the Dunn County Beekeepers. What a great day! I met some incredibly knowledgeable people who filled my brain with good things (thanks again, Todd) and I left feeling inspired. We were all given a copy of Keith Delaplane's book First Lessons in Beekeeping, which I have read from cover to cover and highlighted heavily! I have ordered bees and my wonderful partner is in the process of making beautiful cedar boxes for me (the man is a saint--so supportive of my mini-obsession and showing a genuine interest, too). So.....everything is in order, now bring on the bees!
