Hello and Welcome!

Which part of Ohio are you in? I'm originally from NE Ohio (Akron-Canton areas) and still have family over that way.

I recommend getting involved with a local club. Clubs often offer beginning beekeeping classes, and are great places to find mentors and get connected to nearby beekeepers.
