[QUOTE="briarcreekguy, post: 2298698, member: 16975"] I keep bees and have for several years. This is the wrong time of the year to try to get started, unless someone has an established hive that they want to part with. The advice about re queening the africanized bees is correct. You should go to some bee keeper meetings, and if you can, go out with a beekeeper when he is working his hive. Some people can't take being surrounded by hundreds of angry bees, even in a bee suit. Best to find out before you get heavily invested in equipment and bees. If after this experience, all is good with you, you can start collecting the hives and all the equipment you will need to install a package of bees in the spring. Dadant ( a bee equipment supplier) has a good book, First Lessons in Beekeeping. You can learn a lot from reading it. [/QUOTE]
