Welcome Frank, let us know how the honey taste if your bees find a patch of that funny weed they just made legal out there. Hummmm, on the other hand, if they get into it they may not find there way back home. ;D Jack

Welcome Frank, self taught is the way I started also and after 30 + years I'm still learning. more now than ever thanks to forums like this one and the beekeepers on them. Like to chime in and leave a little of my accumulated knowledge and experiences every now and then, OK a little more often than that.
