Thank you, those of you who responded to my questions about
beginning beekeeping. I now have plenty of info to get me started,
and I'm eager to begin!
Several of you suggested I send another post explaining where I
live, & ask if there are any beekeepers nearby who could give me
information for my area. I live in Bismarck, North Dakota, which is
in the center of the state and south, aprox an hour from the South
Dakota border. Comments like, "The temperature today will reach
a high of 10 below.." are common. The fact that bees can survive
these harsh winters is incredible to me! I thought I would have to
take them inside for the winter, until I read some recent posts about
hives buried in snow and doing just fine. Amazing!
I was wondering, where do people living in town keep their hives?
I hope to move somewhere outside of town, however currently I live
within city limits and doubt my neighbors would appreciate it if I
put hives in my backyard. I assume I need to find someone with land
and ask permission to put my hives on it. Problem is, I just moved
to this state a few months ago & don't know many people yet.
Is anyone out there from this area? Thank you again for your help!
--Rebecca
