there is a lot of stuff I can learn from readin a book....and a lot to learn that I can't learn from readin a book....don't really know where to find a swarm come spring, and how to keep critters out of the hive, and like a professionals view on the racks and starter comb..everything really

I found a Bee-Bee mineral water bottle from Dayton, Ohio. I haven't found crap about my bottles, but there has been a bunch of stuff on bee keeping. I would say google it and use the video and pictures option also.

I was working with an old guy years ago and a swarm was on the pit wall at Armco in New Miami. He put them in a box and got a queen bee from a catalog.

all I got to say is you can put me down for a jar of honey. I love local honey but can't find any around here.
