I want to try beekeeping. How should I get started?

@Nice_Jugs thanks so much

Here is an article on Beginning Beekeeping.

@marinelife Thank you (not sarcastic) This is helpful

Where do you live? I know that in the Bay Area, in Berkeley, there is a place that offers classes on urban beekeeping. You might want to try googling beekeeping classes and the city you live in and see if there are similar local classes or a group of local beekeepers who could help you out. Is your mother planning to visit you often? If she has a severe bee allergy, you may want to reconsider, or place the beehives on the far reaches of your property so that they aren’t near the house.

@occ I live in washington with my mother

@occ has good advice but to be more specific, try looking up local beekeeping associations or clubs. Those typically offer classes but if not they can at least point you to local resources.
