If you are looking to start beekeeping, I highly suggest talking with a beekeeper to get a good grounding before buying a lot of equipment or choosing a hive location. In this 30 minute session, I will describe what you will need to get started beekeeping, and field any questions you may have about equipment, placement of hives, the type of beekeeping management you want to do, anything you may have a question about. It will be an open discussion format, where I will give you as much information as I can and you are welcome to change the topic or ask another question if you like. These kinds of talks can go on for a very long time, and this is why I have capped our session at 30 minutes. I will take notes on what we have discussed. You are welcome to add on another session if you would like to talk further. Personally, I have had my hives for 6 years and still have the original colony that I started with as a beginner beekeeper. I have been a part of multiple beekeeping organizations and associations in the states in which I have had the hives, in the state of Tennessee and in the state of Missouri. I have done anything from collect swarms, to creating a walk away split, to buying bees and equipment online and in local areas, as well as move a hive in the back of a truck!
