I'm a hobby beekeeper here in Pocahontas County, West Virginia.
Beekeeping has been in my family for at least 4 generations. When I first
subscribed to this List I thought I knew a lot about bees. It didn't take
long for me to learn I better keep my mouth shut and just listen.
My goal is to keep a few hives going despite the pests and occasionally
enjoy some fresh honey. I either leave my hives unpainted or stain them.
In late summer I treat for mites.
Best Wishes,
Steve Davis
