hello from new participant

[tech.35058]

Greetings to all. I have been reading the forum for a bit, & would like to join. Perhaps I can add useful comments from time to time. I am the proud owner of a New Holland Lx865 ( for a few months now), which is admittedly a "bit of a rag". I pull wrenches for a living, as an engine rebuild specialist for a heavy equipment dealer. "specialist" means they did not train me for any other task, so, don't ask me about tracks, or hydraulics, etc I also keep venomous, flying insects ( Honey bees) in boxes.

So……do you consider yourself "commercial" or "hobbyist" with the bugs?

Welcome to the site.
That is a good skill to have, i'm sure you can pass on some knowledge about engines.
Bees, i have been watching a guy on youtube that is into science and also loves bees. I thought it was as simple as get a box, queen and some bees and you're set to leave them do their work, but it's really not so simple is it?

Welcome. You should check out the Bee Whisperer from Cheyenne, WY. He answers questions every now and then on the Survival Podcast.

Definitly a hobbyist ... only 8-12 colonies at the moment. We shall see what is still alive come springtime.
