Getting Started in Beekeeping
Here is a short book that we found and wanted to share on beekeeping. It gives some practical steps to use in getting started with beekeeping. It’s not a thorough training, but certainly a quick read to help you determine whether you may want to keep bees as part of your preparedness planning.
If you are considering bees as a hobby or as a sideline business, there are things you will want to
keep in mind before making that decision. Since there are many factors involved with making
money with the honeybees produce, you might want to start doing it as a hobby. There is a
significant amount of money in the start-up of beekeeping. Before investing any amount of
money in your beekeeping project, you might want contact beekeepers in your area. As a rule,
they will more than happy to share their experience with you. Most beekeepers love keeping bees
and to them it is just a “hobby”, but they can give you some insight into beekeeping. Take plenty
of notes. More likely than not you will need them.
In making the decision of becoming a beekeeper, you will want to consider the safety of family,
friends, and neighbors. You wouldn’t want someone to get stung that is allergic to bee stings.
The best course of action on that account is to ask your neighbors and friends, if any of them are
allergic to bees. You will also be able to find out if there might be someone who would not like
beehives so close to their proximity. You will also want to check with the county you live in.
You will want to know about any ordinances or laws prohibiting beekeeping.
