There 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.
