        Ask your bee friend all the questions he'll answer and have him
show you some stuff, if he will. Experienced beekeepers are a great
source of information. Also check out the various bee magazines available
and ask your friend if he still has his old ones. Before I started I got
a hold of three years (each) of AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL and BEE CULTURE and
read them. I subscribe to BEE CULTURE, it's more user friendly for the
beginner in my opinion. You'll learn a lot of stuff from just watching
and checking on your bees.
