Welcome. You might read some of the archived questions, answers and discussions (arguments at times) on the site and see if you find answers to your questions -- and questions that haven't yet occurred to you -- on the site. Most of us start out with the same bewilderment and are still asking questions after years of dealing with bees. Nobody has all the answers. Beware the advice of anyone who thinks he does have all the answers. Some, though, come very close and you'll soon
see the respect their opinions are given. Most everybody tries to be helpful and respectful, though.
