If you are interested in starting beekeeping then you probably have a couple of questions to start.  Here are the common questions I get.

Will I get stung?

Yes – you will get stung, but if you have the proper protective gear it will minimize your stings.  Most beekeepers find that they almost get immune to the stings and getting stung occasionally  just stop bothering them.

How much will it cost to get started?

To get started with beekeeping on a small scale should cost under $500, and after the initial investment the costs are minimal.

Where can I find the equipment I need?

This is a good question.  Beekeeping equipment is specialized.  I have found that the internet is the best place to find quality beekeeping equipment.  Ebay is a great source and so are some of the specialized beekeeping suppliers online.

Getting started with beekeeping is probably easier than you think!
