Hello from Northwest Illinois
« on: July 02, 2016, 08:16:17 pm »
Hi all,

Been keeping bees for 4 years now.  Got them through winter for the first time this year.  Pretty excited, varroa control seemed to be the key.  Hives were honey bound so I extracted that from the brood chambers and fed it back later.  So far so good.  Glad to be here.

Picked up an oxalic acid vaporizer this spring, that has me excited.  Looking to learn!

Welcome to Beemaster.
Bee careful with that vaporizer. They can kill you.

Welcome.

You could also be hit by a bus driving to the grocery store :-)

VOA with a tad bit of caution is perfectly safe.
