Hello, I'm getting my first Nuc in March and will get another in April. This has been a long planned for, patiently waited process - and as all things, it didn't go exactly as planned, but it's going exactly as it should go.
I am starting out in 2 Langstroth Hives, but I have 4 Slovenian AZ hives and 2 Layen hives waiting for me to mature as a beekeeper. I've wanted to keep bees since I was 4 - we skipped a generation, but there is beekeeping in my family - (grandfather, great grandfather) and I want to bring it back for my grandchildren and for myself. I'm finally there - and now all I can think about is how many years do I have before I can't any longer - and wishing I started in my teens, instead.
My son is also interested in beekeeping - so I hope to let him gain experience with my hives until he is able to have his own.
Otherwise, nice to meet you. I'm a Tennessian - and currently we are under about 6 inches of snow and ice that we haven't seen in a good decade.
