Is there a book/resource you'd recommend to people who know absolutely nothing about beekeeping but think it sounds terribly awesome and would like to know what it takes to get started?
- bhousel 12y agoThere is likely a beekeepers' association in your state/county area (see what comes up on a Google search). They usually have meetings and education/demo days, or at least would be happy to answer any questions that you have about keeping bees. I think this is better than reading a book, because there are often special rules or challenges depending on where you live, and these are things that the local beekeepers would know about.
- csorrell 12y agoI've learned the most from lurking around the forums at http://www.beesource.com/forums/ http://www.beesource.com/forums/. Some kind of beginners beekeeping book that covers the basics would probably be good too, but I don't really have any good recommendations.
