We are newbees, just built the hive and awaiting the next phase. Hoping to meet some neighbors here in Northern Virginia, join a club and take a class. Thanks! ---

Welcome to Flow Forums 🙂 My name is Laura, i am 14 years old and live in Fairfax. I am a newbee too. One tip is to ask a lot of questions. Many people (including me) would be happy to answer any bee questions you have. Can’t wait to connect sometime 😁 ---

Welcome to the Flow forum! 😊 I am not a neighbor (San Diego, CA), but beekeeping only has minor differences in various regions. You are on the right track with looking for a local bee club. They are a golden resource when you are starting out. Read as much as you can, and if you don’t understand something specific, just ask and we will try to help. 😉 ---
