Getting Started in Beekeeping

You can read in detail about the needed beekeeping equipment in Lesson 2: Beekeeping Equipment Below are some sources where you can some of the recommended items to get started. Amazon offers a single location for ordering most of the items needed to get started. The exception is buying a starter hive, which we have not been able to find one we are willing to recommend through Amazon. Instead we link to some Dadant starter hives.
