Title: Upstate South Carolina here
Post by: Plinsc on September 02, 2022, 11:08:15 pm: Hello
We have an acre but it is surrounded by national forest and Game Management land. I haven?t gotten any bees yet as I?m still learning about keeping them.
I plan to build the hives this winter with the goal being springtime.
I do suffer from some health conditions that have weakened my hands so going with the plans I got for Layens hives. I?m afraid I could lose my grip hoisting boxes around, that could get sporty!
Looking forward to the adventures ahead!

I use 8 frame medium Langstroths, but I love learning about other hive types. By the way, it would be best for you to make the location on your profile a little more narrow than just the United States. Beekeeping is very local, and it will be much easier for people to give advice and discuss useful ideas if they know a little better what your climate in your location is like. I'm looking forward to hearing about your beekeeping adventures! :grin:

Welcome to Beemaster.
Good luck with using Lyyens hives. I have not heard anyone on BeeMaster talk about them. Hopefully someone who uses them can pipe up and provide some first hand experience for you.
