How do I get started beekeeping?
Starting is simple. You will need a hive box, a package of bees, and an area to place the hive. Go to the Contacts Page and we will help you get started.

Is it expensive?
Not at all. Most people are surprised at how little it costs. It all depends on you; if you want a single hive or several the cost is up to you.

Where do I get the hive and other parts?
An internet search for "beekeeping supplies" will provide you with all the information you will need. The club can recommend several vendors that we have used in the past.

How much time does it take?
After your initial setup, usually you only need about 20 days per year to work your hive and extract your honey. The bees in the hive are very fascinating to watch so, how much time you spend "inspecting" your hive really depends on you.
