Wow, never thought there'd be this much intrest in bees, it's knda of a dieing thing around here, between younger people not being interested in anything that requires not being inside by the AC and the older people giving due to disease and Colony Colaspe, bees are slowly disapeering.
We've read up, and the bees we bought came from Georgia, supposed to have be treated for everything. We're feeding all the hives sufar water on a 1 to 1 ratio and treated the water with fumogellin(sp?), the cold weather medicine as the old timers call it. We've still been having some cold weather here, some light freezes at night, I'm suprise they've done as well as they have.
As far as the cost, we've probably got about $200 in each hive(not including the bench we built, it was just scrap stuff we had laying around), I've got a little less in mine than the brother, he went fancy and got the top feeders(which I don't like, always in your way and way more expensive) and he bought the fancy bottom boards with mite screens, which I might go to if we end up with mite trouble.. We got a great deal on the bees, $62 for a 3lb package of italians with the queen, but it was more like 3 and half to 4 lbs of bees. Most of our stuff came from Dadant and sons, we bought everything unassemble and unpainted, saved quite a bit of money.

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches.
