New Michigan bee keepers

Hello everyone! Hubby and I are very green to bee keeping and expecting our first Flow Hive to arrive this week. So excited! At the same time feeling overwhelmed with all the info I’m taking in. Looking forward to learning from all your experience here.

Almost a year now since this post. How was the experience and how is the hive doing now?

@Dave_B Hey, Dave thanks for asking! We stumbled our way through the season making our share of mistakes and learned a lot. We were blessed with just over 2 gallons of honey that we shared with family, friends and neighbors. I thought we were going to have to split the colony, there were so many bees! But it was too late in the fall and we just left it alone. My husband made a quilt box and filled it with cedar shavings, he built a candy board too and we wrapped the hive with tar paper. As of today, they’re humming along and removing the deceased as expected. How is yours?
