Sam, you are already off to a good start by what you have described. I did the same as you. I read some here at beemaster, while watching many videos. I watched many types of videos along with cutout videos. I wish you well with your bee adventure. As a fellow member, welcome to beemaster glad to have you.

Welcome, Sam. I am from Thomaston, Ga. NOT Thomasville. I wonder if people get your town confused with ours like they confuse our town with yours.
I am beginning my second year as a beek, and loving it. This forum has been my major source of answers and encouragement. I know you will benefit from being a part of it. Just ask your question and and share your stories.

Welcome to the club.  The investment you've made in education before starting is a great first step.  There's so much going on in the hives that without that exposure, it's easy to get lost.  The next thing you might look into is getting an experienced mentor who can come help you go through your hives, at least for the first year.
