Hi
There is no easy way to get started; making good comb honey is an art and is certainly not easy. The easiest way to keep bees is to run for extracted honey; a small extractor is a good investment. The next best way is to try cut comb honey using standard frames. You can put extra thin foundation in your frames and mix these in with the others. If you get nice honey you can pull out the wires and cut the comb into squares.
