Hi all
« on: February 10, 2014, 04:26:46 pm »
I have migrated over here from another beekeeping site and it look like I wasn't the only one  ;)
I am starting my third year of being a beehaver, maybe I'll advance to beekeeper this year.
Small cell, chemical free (not counting the local farmers and the neonics) is the plan.

Hello and welcome Ray; I was beginning to wonder if someone was going to have to go fetch you! We need some balance from cold weather beekeepers. 8)

Thanks you all for the warm welcome.
Warming up nicely hear, might make freezing Monday  ;D.
Dan, it looks like all three hives made it through, at least so far.
