Hello, just saying hi. We are pretty new to beekeeping, we've managed to scare off our first hive or two but we're trying again this spring. I enjoy making the hives in my shop and my sister tends to them on her property. Thinking of starting with a "nuc" this time, poking around the Bakersfield area for a supplier. We shall see how it goes, the area we keep the bees in is pretty hot and dry. Hope everyone is doing well.
