Welcome. My friend and I just recently acquired a bee company in east texas and he also makes mead, cyser, and melomels. Good stuff. Hope your bees are doing well!
Wish you lived out this way,we lost a lot of bee keepers around the time I retired ('07). Some kind of disease,I forget the name. It hit a lot of bee keepers around NE Ohio.
Welcome to the obsession. I'm an apiarist too, our bees are doing great this year. We lost a hive two years ago to CCD, so we've been monitoring it carefully. Time to brew up a braggot sometime soon!
