Hi, my name is Tim and I'm an addict ( amazing how some things never change ). Some of you already no me but for those who don't:
I'm going into my third years as a bkeep. Had a down fall last year lost my 3 hives at the house thanks to the west nile virus spraying. To make matters worse I had some medical issues that kept me from taking care of the bees at the farm so sadly they starved.

Sure sad to hear that, Tim, but glad to see you here. Hopefully, things will go better this year.

Hello Tim:
Your health comes first, and I'm glad to hear you're on the mend. It's been a tough year for a lot of folks with bees so don't be discouraged. You'll be back in the saddle in no time. Glad you're here. ;)
