Hi Everyone,
My name is Steven Thomas and I am new to here. I am from California and here I come to learn about beekeeping.

Welcome, mate. You’ll receive a wealth of opinions and advice; of that I have no doubt. Take each with a pinch of salt and you’ll be fine 
I look forward to reading your own future contributions and hearing how you go. I wish you well!
Do you have a hive currently? Or are you researching prior to taking the plunge?
If you are researching prior to jumping in, take note that the flowhive system modifies the honey extraction process and not the husbandry practices - you’ll still need to undertake inspections and disease/pest management for a successful outcome.
