Niro. Congrats on raising honeybees. I am 70 years old n just returning to beekeeping as I had a school bee project for 6 plus years 55 years ago. I live east of Seattle in the state of Wsshington. Yes … Your bee/honey seAson is the opposite of our in this northern latitude.

As for your English … Do worry ! I teach Vietnamese people ESL and you writing n English we can understand nicely.

My 3 Nuc’s of bees hopefully will arrive on or before mid April. Our early spring weather has started n flowers n trees will be in full bloom this week or next and continue fhru most of June into mid July then slow until a couple last blooms before deep fall. We have to winter our bees n let them keep about 60 to 80 lbs of honey so they can survive our chilly/wet winters.

Nice meeting you. Like your pix’s too. Good luck n happy beekeeping …
