Starting with my first coloney

I want to give a shout ou to @JeffH for helping me start in this hobbie.
A very knowledgable person with bees.
I picked up my starter bees yesterday and Jeff was great in sharing his vast knowledge with me.

He also has a very indepth youtube channel that i’ve started to watch and suggest anyone that is starting up to watch his channel.

Thanks again Jeff.
It was a great pleasure in meeting you.

Hi Daz, many thanks. It was great to meet you as well, & thank you for that beautiful hand crafted gift.

I think the main thing to know is “bee culture”, then after that it’s just common sense & logical thinking.

Just in case you didn’t remember the title of the second video I mentioned, it’s “Nova, Bees Tales from the Hive”.
cheers

Hi & you’re welcome Daz. There’s a lot of stuff in this video, that’s not in the City of Bees, & vice versa. That filming of the virgin queen mating is amazing. Sometimes we forget that that’s what happens every time we get a successfully mated queen, somewhere nearby.

I have a book, which was given to me in lieu of dumping it. It’s the “ABC and XYZ of Bee Culture”, which is a great reference book on bees.
