Many thanks to the offered help to advise on the path to become a beekeeper. Sam Nobel came over and started my in-person education and will help me navigate my first year.

The response from The Hive SDCBeeks is appreciated.

Arrives probably on the 27th.

This will be my first year. The hive I have is a Langstroth. A brief visit to help me decide where to place the hive would be beneficial to the bees and myself.

Unfortunately I am somewhat homebound because of long term health challenges.

I signed up at Hives for Heros, but have not heard from them. It is strange that everyone needs to be a hero these days. I don't feel like a hero but I volunteered for the Army in 1966, served three years, and I identify as a Vietnam-era Veteran Against the War.

Best regards, John
