I’ve always been interested in it. Have several books and regularly read several blogs. Sadly, I haven taken the leap.
Where do you live? There should be a local beekeepers assn near you, who would be happy to guide you step-by-step in getting into it. Here in Pennsylvania many of the counties have a beekeepers assn. I’m in York County. I recently read and saw photos of hives that came from Slovenia, that are really catching on here. The design is better for the bees and handier for the keeper. Good luck.
Same situation for us. Hopefully in retirement at our rural hillside house.
There is nothing like working a hive with one of your grandkids then eating the honeycomb with them. One of the best unintended circumstance of my life.
