Are you too about to start beekeeping? Or are you a beekeeper and need better resources and beekeeping supplies to make your beekeeping easier? Do you want to make more money with your beekeeping? Or perhaps you simply are interested in honey bees and want to learn beekeeping for personal pleasure.
The phenomenal attention honey bees have received over the past year due to Colony Collapse Disorder has, indeed, garnered a huge influx of people to the ranks of “I want to learn more about beekeeping.” If that’s you, I want to encourage you to follow up on that urge right now because this is the perfect time of year to get started keeping bees.
The very first thing you need to decide is ... Do I have the time required to be a responsible caretaker of my bees?
Having bees in the backyard is no different than being responsible for any other animal, whether a pet cat or dog, or farm animals like chickens or horses. They need basic care ... food, water, shelter, preventative health care, protection from the elements, each other, pests and diseases, vandals and any other unnecessary stress in their lives. That takes time, some money, and energy. You must have all three if you want any animal in your life.
