Greetings from SE Nebraska

[Roehm]

Hello everyone,

My name is Dan, I live in Lincoln, NE. I am currently taking a course throught the University of Nebraska for beekeepinga, which is taught by Dr. Marrion Ellis. I decided to take the class because of a recommendation from my friend and because of that I now what to venture into practical beekeeping. I am going to wait until the class is over before I start(maybe  :evil:) preparing my hives other resources. My wife is going to accompany me in my beekeeping exploits and later on maybe a friend. I am looking to start small and then maybe move into selling honey and other products later on down the road as a side job. I am also going to be majoring in entomology so its really a win win situation. I look forward to hanging around here and learning all I can as long as you all don't mine  :-D.

Peace,
Dan

Welcome aboard Dan, We are glad that you found this place and calling it home. I believe Michale Bush is in your area and think you should try to meet up with him. learning from an experienced beek is always a good thing.

You definitely need to meet with Michael Bush. He is a top expert here on this forum and has different and interesting ways of doing beekeeping that have been very successful. I am following his advice now and trying to regress my bees to make small cells to rid my hives of mites. You are actually very lucky to live so close by to him.

Good luck and ask any questions you like. We are here to help
