Hello Beekeeper Taylor:
 
I enjoyed your account of your entry into beekeeping.  I also entered
beekeeping somewhat by accident.  That was almost twenty years ago and I
find beekeeping to be one of the most enjoyable activities I have tried.
Second only to fishing.
 
I live in southwest Missouri USA, retired six years ago from public
education and use my time in gardening, fishing, and taking care of about
thirty hives.  I have conducted a number of beekeeping classes and really
enjoy helping new/young beekeepers.
 
Keep us (on the net) posted as to how your project progresses.
