Hello all
 
My name is Eugene Wyatt.  I am a farmer and I run 500 Merino sheep in
upstate New York.  I want to make commercial mead (licenses applied for) from
honey I
produce.  I have no experience with bees or beekeeping and I would like to
learn as much as I can, as fast as I can about commercial honey production.
Some recommendations please:
 
1) How would you best approach this project
2) Books and other educational materials
3) Suppliers of bees and equipment
4) Advice, *do's and don't's*
 a. types of bees for my local
 b. cheaper to buy or to make honey
 c. where can one buy honey, prices
 d. Dangers/mistakes to be wary of
 e. ?...
 
Thanks for your input.
 
Eugene
