Title: hello from the subarctic division
Post by: pistolpete on January 06, 2014, 01:38:48 am

Hi everyone,

   It's a little strange to be here, kind of like entering an alternate reality where everything is subtly different.   When I was living in Thailand everybody always joked about things being "same, same, but different".
Anyway, it's good to see all the familiar avatars.  For those that I don't know yet, I look forward to meeting you.

I'm heading into my third year of bee keeping.  I will be expanding to 4 hives in the spring, 2 at home and 2 at a community garden nearby.  I house my hives in sheds for a variety of reasons, but mainly the human pest kind of reasons.   I do tile setting for work and wood working for fun  (it used to be the other way around, but that didn't pay the bills nearly as well).  I have 3 little girls who like to tag along to look at the bees, but mostly love to eat honey.

cheers

Petr.
