It's been very rainy here lately which hopefully will lead to tons of flowers blooming for the bees by the time they get here.
Tonight is a meeting of the Maumee Valley Beekeepers Assoc which I will attend and join. I am hoping huband will come along. Severe social anxiety makes things like this rather difficult for me. I'm feeling it in the pit of my stomach already.
On the next non-rainy day I will paint the outside of the topfeeder and put "my" hive where I want it. Since we can't agree on things, hubs will put his in a different location in the yard - which may be helpful for the bees if nothing else they are less likely to get confused between hives - whether or not that makes a difference is yet to be seen.
Meeting people is hard, but hopefully will be helpful in our venture. I also found that a couple at our church has this great website:

I don't know the couple yet, but perhaps will meet them tonight. We'll see!
Have fun!
