How to get started in beekeeping

Game Plan

• Read up on beekeeping and make contact with other beekeepers. Find a mentor if you can. Hint: join the APK!
• Order your bees 
• Talk to your beekeeping supplier and get your woodenware and other essentials before your bees arrive.
• If you need to, prepare the location where your hives will be set up.
• Install your bees when they arrive  – if you have a helper, so much the better.
• Enjoy your bees over summer and prepare for getting them through the coming winter.
• In fall you will be into feeding and worrying about the well-being of your bees – congratulations – you are a beekeeper.
