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
