Greetings,
 
        I've read the books and looked over the catalogs. I
        have a couple of good sites picked out on my property.
        I think I have a handle on the prophtlactic treatments
        needed to control mites, noseam, and foulbrood.
 
        There is a lot of what should be good forage here.
 
        Now, I still have a couple of questions...
 
        1.) How many hives? The books all imply that it should
                be 2 or more. I can afford up to 5. I don't want to
                get in over my head, but I am serious about it.
 
        2.) What are the advantages of the ARS-Y-C-1 Carniolan
                Hybrid queens vs. the Italians (Walter T. Kelley)
 
        Thanks in advance!
