Hey all you other newbies. This is my first year and I have learned a ton from this site. I put together a one-pager with pics on how I hand pollinated a female this past weekend. I'm using store bought (not AG's either) seeds, as I didn't find this site until after the season had begun. Since I'm sure some of you out there are in the same boat as me, don't give up! I have a couple approaching 40 pounds, and 1 that is 8 days old and 17" round!

Anyway, since a picture is worth all them words, see if this does you any good, feel free to send me comments questions etc. I'll be posting notes to my diary on the progress of the female in the photos.

Not a problem BeeFarmer. I appreciate the link actually, and will continue to track this female through pictures over the next two months. I don't use a digital camera, so there is a bit of lag time on posting pics.
