Thanks Riverbee, heading out to the shop to make some sawdust. Cheers  :)

Welcome to the forum, Rob.  It looks like you're starting off getting right down to business.  I took note of one statement you posted,
"...will be contacting local beeks to see what works for them and go from there." 
Brilliant!  Local beeks will be an invaluable resource for practical, hands-on information.  Here on the forum you can get all sorts of answers---sometimes totally in disagreement with one another---yet they can all be correct, each one depending on the locale involved. 
We'll enjoy exchanging information with you, but as good as our advice may be, your neighbors' will probably be best.  If you can get one of them to invite you to watch him/her working the hives, it should help speed up your progress.
But rest assured, we're with you all the way.   :)
Thanks Efmesch, I have been doing a ton of research to make sure I'm headed in the right direction. Unfortunately with temps in the -15 to -25 celsius right now all I can do is research and keep building. I am talking with local beeks to see what works and what doesn't. Hopefully will be attending a beekeeping course starting in February and will ask local beeks if I can visit their apiaries. Stay safe. Cheers

Welcome Rob. This is absolutely the friendliest and most knowlegeable  beekeeping forum you'll ever find. Lots of good folks and info here. Best of luck with your farm and bees.
Thanks Bamabww, I have to agree. I hung out here for a month or so before I registered and there was no doubt that this is where I wanted to take part. Great people, an abundance of knowledge and NO drama. Cheers
