I don't have any hands-on experience in beekeeping, though I've read a lot and can't wait to get started. One hurdle I have is that I need to change my city's ordinance to allow beekeeping before I can really get started. So far I've met with the Planning and Zoning committee and they were supportive; next the recommendation goes to City Council. With any luck there will be a new ordinance on the books in March.
I look forward to learning everything I can from fellow members of this forum. Expect questions!
Welcome! Please put your location in your profile so that local beekeepers might come to your aide!
There are a few places around here that aren't bee friendly but with teamwork and some effort things can and will change...thank you for taking up the good fight! Until then, go rogue!

Welcome. I bet you can find some other beeks in your city to help.
Welcome to the forum. There is a ton of good beekeeping info here to check out. Congratulations on the equipment!

oops, I apologize on the congats for the equipment. That was someone in Michigan. Maybe someone will step up and give you some equipment though. Check out Jim's blog and Natures Nectar if/when you get to ordering bees. He's in Stillwater which is fairly close to you.
