This is our first year. We have two hives and the both are doing super, no pun intended.

Last winter, the considerably better half and I attended beginner beekeeping classes hosted by our local beekeepers association. They were great and we have a very strong active local association. If you haven't already, you may want to look into joining one in your area. They are a great resource.

Best of luck to you.

Warmest Regards,
Paul
