Just thought I'd introduce myself before I start bombing you guys with questions. Lol. Because they r coming. I've been seriously considering bees for a few years now. And this year I'm taking the steps to start my bee keeping adventure. When I do something I like to know what I'm doing, be prepared, and do it right ... especially with such important little lives are at stake . I live in a very small outdated town. We have a local bee supply store but the fella that runs it... I had a sour personal experience with resulting with an inability to maintain friendship... so I'm gana be much more dependent on seeking answers on my own. And boy to I have questions 😃 I'm half way through bee keeping for dummies and have been researching equipment and companies so I'm doing the leg work. But I'm a hands on when it comes to learning and I need the advise of real people and to read experiences from real people who know $^* they are doing lol and to point me in the right direction.
bees are important nature is important... after watching numerous veggies in my garden fail to fruit last year I decided it was time to take that step. Plus I think I can actually afford the start up cost this year. My main goal here is to have happy healthy bees. I want to be as natural as possible . Of course I love honey but it's just a perk to having sweet little life sustaining pollinators in my yard. so I may ask a lot of silly questions

Welcome, Simon. Are you referring to New York or where?

Welcome to Beemaster. This is the place to ask questions, as many as you want.
I recommend that you check out Mann Lake. That is where I get most of my equipment from. Just received an order from them last week.
Unless you are a body builder, I recommend you get all medium boxes. If I was starting over, I would have all 8 frame medium hives.
