Starting today, every Sunday I am going to thank the members who helped the most that week. Here is how it works. Every like you get on a post or comment earns you a point. Points move you up the levels, starting at Level 1 New Bee, then Level 2 Hive Helper, Level 3 Wax Worker, and on up to Level 9 Bee Baron. You can see where you stand on the Leaderboards tab. Top three this week: Gus Lutjens, Xander Du Preez, and @Tommy Gan . Thank you for what you shared this week. This week, like at least three posts or comments from other members. It takes a few seconds and it helps good questions and answers get seen. The 7 Day Sideliner Starter Challenge starts tomorrow, so there will be plenty to like.

I started in 2017 with 10 hives here around Burleson, Texas. Where did you start, how many hives, and what year? If you have not started yet, tell us where you are and what is holding you back. @Gus Lutjens , @Xander Du Preez , and @Fiercely Sweet , I would love to hear your start story. How many hives did you begin with?
