@WallyG74, this will be my first season with bees too. I have a mentor as well, thank goodness.
He texted me yesterday and asked if I wanted to help him install bees later this month? Well, I'm on that like white on rice, heck yeah! I need all the experience I can get. He's had bees for many years.
(Gotta tell his standard bee joke...)
He takes hives to schools to teach kids. He says he has Italian and Carniolan bees. Someone invariably asks, "How can you tell the difference?"
"The Italian bees go 'buzzah buzzah buzzah."
