Welcome to our Wiki!

It's not the first, it won't be the last. It probably won't be the BEST; but we hope it won't be the WORST.

Here's some that precede us:
What started it: http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beekeeping
A WikiBook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Beekeeping
A wikia project: http://beekeeping.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page


We will strive to build on and link to the existing material on the web rather than just re-melting the same crystalized mass. We will present material that we hope is pertinent to specifics of our mostly urban and suburban small to moderate scale beekeepers. We embrace our fellow rural beekeepers and honey producers but recognize that the feeding, available forage, as well as environmental, and political environments among these groups is quite different. What "works" inside the Beltway, the Potomac/Anacostia basin, the broader Piedmont and Coastal plain of our region may not work in an adjacent sub-region. Our focus will be the collection and dissemination of first hand experience and knowledge of our members.

Who are "DCmetro Beekeepers"?

We're starting out as a small group of BANV (www.beekeepersnova.org) who want to share our mistakes and build better practices for what happens around HERE. And we have this notion that this Wiki technology can help us and YOU get there. Our name is part of our goal.
