About This Site
|
Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. And if wisdom were given me under the express condition that it must be kept hidden and not uttered, I should refuse it. No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it. |
I am a hobbyist beekeeper who got started in 2022. I've experienced a number of issues along the way, and have documented what I've learned so I have an easy reference for my use. If you also find it useful, then that's great!
The goal of this website is to present information in a way that enables the new beekeeper to get started easily. After a while, this site may prove to be too entry-level for someone who is experienced in this wonderful craft.
I hope you find this information useful. And, thank you to all those who have provided information and images for use on this site.
This is to be a free, web-based reference tool for those who are new to beekeeping. I don't like sites with pop-ups, or which track the user for whatever nefarious reasons, so you won't find that here.
The information presented here is given without any commercial gain. God has been very good to me and my family, and this is a way of giving back in a small way. I choose to fund this web site privately so that the information won't be skewed towards any vendor, and so that it can be presented freely to those who would like to use it.
Notes that could help make this site better would be greatly appreciated (and will probably be added). And, if you don't agree with what is presented here, kindly send me a note and I'll consider your thoughts. I can be contacted at BeekeepingBoK @ Gmail.com.
If this site helped you get started, and you enjoy it, then my goal has been achieved.
- With kindest regards,Rich Colvin
