I see you are from New Jersey? How much land to you have for your bees (and your family)? I have 30 acres to play with, although, I am getting pretty old to do much playing.

Welcome!
It's good to have a beekeepers perspective here!
I've toyed with the idea for years, but haven't jumped in yet.
Are you using Langstroth type hives or topbar?

Welcome I just had a Bee Farm move across the street from me. I am seeing a lot more bees in my garden this summer

Welcome from Washington state. We have been wanting to get some bees also. I just think you need to be more prepared for bees than we are right now, that is why we haven't taken the plunge

Welcome. Will enjoy your sharing on your education on bees. No more honey than we use-not in mood tonsell excess-cheaper to buy from locals.
