For years, I have marveled at the sheer quantity of information that is presented to the new beekeeper. A lot of the information really needs six or ten footnotes (or maybe they should be called legal disclaimers!) because the information is simply “sometimes true” or maybe even “rarely true.”
Having kept bees for nearly two decades, through all of the hardship times (I have never had bees when nosema and varroa weren’t around!), I have a pretty good feel for what a new beekeeper needs to get going. So, I thought I would create this site – I plan for it to be mostly static (I do not intent to add to this blog roll unless I update the info on the site) and hope that it helps a new beekeeper or two out there!
