Hello and Welcome!

I'm sure you'll find this forum to be an informative site to learn more about bees and beekeeping.

I recommend that you get involved with a local beekeeping club. Clubs are great places to find mentors and get connected to nearby beekeepers:

Welcome to the forum, John.   :cheer:

Most of the people here are very helpful. There are one or two who will talk down at a new person but I believe it is because they have seen just about all the questions before not because they are trying to be mean. The way I look at it, everyone was new at one time or another, so ask all the questions you want and someone will try to help you.

BTW After your first posting no one will know where you are from unless you change your profile to include where you are. That way the beeks on here can give you more relative help.  -Mike
