Greetings from the still frozen wasteland
« on: March 30, 2014, 12:38:03 am »
Hello from western WI.

First year keeping by my lonesome ( have a mentor in Downsville who helped / will help show me the ropes).
That being said, love the resources this forum has already provided while browsing.

I also have to give riverbee a shout out as she is close to my neck of the woods. I love to go riding and trout fishing in El Paso...

I won't waste any more space or time, just know I'm happy to be here, and thank you all in advance for the friendships and help that will be in my future here.

Thanks all!
 
I don't feel I have much to contribute as if yet, but when my bees get here in May, hopefully I'll be able to post a bit more...

I live between Eau Claire and Elk Mound. 
Spent the weekend cleaning out the chicken coop, and preparing the apiary.  Fresh coat of paint on all that needs it, now to get my bees... Spring can't come soon enough!
