How To Start Keeping Bees

Thanks for your interest in becoming a beekeeping. To us, beekeeping is one of the most enjoyable hobby/business we’ve ever done. We believe you’ll enjoy it as well.

Keeping bees is really simple. Let me give you a brief flow chart:
1. Purchase your hives and equipment from us.
2. Purchase the bee from us as well.

That’s simple right! Well, we know that you’ll need to know much more, and that’s why we have everything you’ll need to know in our Free Online Beekeeping Lessons. You’ll see that link either from this page or our main home page too.

Beekeeping Start Up Kit

You can start with as few as one hive, but we recommend beginners start with two hives. We sell two hives for $358 (2010). Then each hive will need a 3lb package of bees (about 10,000 bees) with a marked queen. These packages sell for $75. Call ASAP to place your bee order. It's not too late. In fact, we are offering a beginner's class May 22nd at our place. Click here for more info. During this class you can puchase your hive and bees and take everything home that day! I am confident, that if you will read our online lessons, you will understand how to become a beekeeper. We even have full lessons on installing your bees (video) as well as how to inspect your hive and make sure all is well.

We have lessons on how to reduce your chances of being stung as you work your hives.

And we view all of our customers as students as we provide free mentoring. Just call us up to ask your questions and we’ll help you enjoy your new hives.
