Glad to meet you and welcome to BYC. I am sorry to hear about your tough experiences with bees. I have been very tempted to try bees myself, and your story helped me put on the brakes. Best wishes with your trans roosters and all your flock! Your sense of humor will be quite welcome here!
Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
