First post newbie
« on: January 23, 2014, 08:26:19 am »
Howdy folks, retired country boy trying to get back to my "roots". Bees died about 6-7 yrs ago. Have cleaned the hives well, repainted, and ready for spring. Have spotted three wild hives (hope they are still there) and going after them in early spring. Have six raised beds, small orchard, thornless black berries, and vineyard. Need some pollinators badly. Thank you Wally for getting me signed up and look forward to learning from you guy's knowledge.
 Live East of Charlotte, NC a few clicks. Out in the country(well, used to be) where the whip-o-wills still sing at night--and the coyotes howl--lol. Going to mount the NV on my "coyote" rifle and fix some of their problems.
 Looking forward to learning "new bee keeping" from you experts. A bud nearby lost over 100 hives last year. He is down to 11 hives. Bud in Sun Valley seems to be doing great--he is doing something right. May be the absence of pesticides on farmland around him.

 Glad you listened to Wally.  We're glad to have you join us, 06.  There's not only standing room for one more, {and one more, and one more....), we like to have them all pull up a seat and get active on the postings. :)

HOWDY and welcome aboard.

Welcome aboard 06.  When you finish with your coyotes and still are looking for work, you can come help me with coyotes and feral pigs in West Texas.  The coyotes keep my quail population too low, and the feral pigs are beyond a nuisance.  Again, glad to have you with us.
