Hi TGR,
Welcome to the fold! We need as many new keepers as possible right now so good to hear you're taking the mantle up. :-)
And never worry about being a newbie. I've met so many keepers of 20yrs plus standing who during local group inspections, have been faced with new and strange bee behaviours and are baffled themselves! I'm a newbie too but spending time with other keepers is a great way to watch & learn how to (and sometimes how not to!) look after your girls. Let us know how you get on.
Cheers
P17B
