Beginning with Bees
- Start small. Two colonies is an ideal number for an
inexperienced person to keep for one or two years.
- Expand as your experience and confidence grow.
- Start right. Avoid discouraging mistakes at the very beginning
by thorough preparation.
- Buy new equipment. The experience of assembling new hives is
very informative for the inexperienced beginner.
- Beekeeping information is important. There are many good books
that are excellent for beginners. These books are reasonably
priced.
- Plan ahead. Order your bees, hives and tools in the fall. The
hives and tools will be delivered in time to be assembled before
your bees arrive the following April.
- Be ready. When the package bees arrive, your hives should be
assembled and located on the site selected for your apiary.
