Mike, welcome to our forum, great you found us. What a great thing to have that hive in the tree. I bet by now you have that bee colony hived in a box. Stick around. This will be a place where you can lean on us for helping you out, you can learn many things here. You will also have a place to tell your stories, tales and experiences -- and make new friends. You will soon find out how deeply you will be held under the spell of the honeybee, we all are, we are in deep, and so will you be, smiling. Have a most wonderful day, a great life with great health.
