Yay, Dennis, good for you!
Have you ordered your hive yet? I've been wanting to get into beekeeping for the last year or so now, but I'm afraid of what my neighbors might think. If I had a large property with no one really close by, I would do it, but I worry about the children in the neighborhood getting stung by a bee because of my beehive.
I'm curious to know how it works out for you, though!
@homeshow - I'm glad that you mentioned about back strain, it isn't something I imagine most people think of when they look into ordering hives. In the (unfortunately unlikely) event that I order a beehive in the future, I will definitely keep this in mind.
