Re: Info on Bees and how to get started. #1. Go to your local library and check out what they have on the subject. #2. Put some effort into finding local beekeepers-if nothing else call your local police and see who they notify when they get a call on a swarm. #3. Get some catalogs-the books you get out of the library will have some addresses. I got my first hive some years ago-by getting a couple of books on the subject and went from there. Do some research first-then go for it. Al Needham Hoobyist Scituate, MA,USA [log in to unmask]
