Buy or borrow a few good beekeeping books. Practical Beekeeping in New Zealand is a good book to start with.
When to start?
Now! The best time to start a beehive is in the spring. This is when bees are just starting to get busy.

If you want your equipment to last it is worth paying a little more for better quality gear that will not fall apart or break. Our $99 Starter Hive is a great place to start – it’s pre-assembled and ready to go.
