Hello from Indiana
« on: December 24, 2013, 10:06:47 am »
Just started bee keeping this spring. Like some of the post's I've read, I'm a little nervous knowing they are out in the cold and there's nothing I can do about it but wait till spring.  Recently purchased our home with 10 acres.  Have 4 double deeps and caught a small late swarm I have in a nuc.  Hoping all goes well this winter.  Looking forward to learning as much as I can here.  Thanks to all those who run this forum as well as those who post to keep it alive and well.
Merry Christmas!!  :)

One more reason for me to smile. Thanks for coming.

Thanks everyone.  Think I will enjoy my stay here.  Still trying to go through the pages to learn more.  I'm sure after my first winter I'll feel a lil more at ease  ::)
