Greetings & Salutations from Snowy Erie
« on: December 16, 2013, 01:04:21 pm »
Hello all!

Obviously, there are no standards for membership here, since I have no bees.  :(  A temporary situation, I assure you!   My story in a nutshell:  I only had one hive, they swarmed, the new queen was a dud, the oblivious beekeeper did not notice, the former bees robbed out 100 lb of honey, and left me with nothing but wax moths.  Will be looking for swarms come springtime.

I sure got a smile on when I saw your name on the list. Glad you came in. Stay with us and maybe we can get your next hives to thrive.

Welcome Hobie. Actually, you were here first, so I'm glad you're here. Anyway, don't be a stranger. Check us out once in awhile. I'm going to need some expert tutoring on making candles.
