I purchased a hive and some other equipment as well as some books. I am thinking of taking a course at the University of MN through the BEE LAB (http://www.beelab.umn.edu/bee-squad/education/beekeeping-classes/beekeeping-year1). I'm excited to get started!

You will enjoy that course. Find your local bee club and join it.
