Simple Beekeeping

Beekeeping is a fascinating hobby.  Not only can you learn about nature, but you get to help your garden provide wonderful produce and beautiful flowers.

If you are just starting out the best advice I can give you is to get Beekeeping For Dummies and join your local beekeeping club.  People who keep bees are mostly a friendly and informative group.  They will share with  you equipment that is discounted, you can get bees to start with and you can get help with trouble shooting your hive problems.

The really nice thing that I have found is that they won't laugh at you if you do silly things, like say, not putting foundation in your frames before you install your bees.
