I just found your blog a few days ago from reading a post of yours on the beemaster site. I am also new to beekeeping, first year with 4 hives so far and probably up to 6 in the next month or so, and have found your posts very enjoyable and will be visiting often to follow your progress as another helpful tool for myself. Have a blessed day and keep up the great blog. T C
