Okay today my bees arrived, and I just have been estatic to begin this new hobby. Have a story to share about your experiences with bees?

I used a mouse guard in my two apiaries, not even thinking I had boardman feeders. So I ended up putting the boardman feeders in a small super above the bees sitting on the frames.
A big black spider was inside of one of my apiaries and actually killed one of the bees. So I learned today that skunks are not the only ones who will kill your bees.
