Welcome to the forum. You might look for beekeeping clubs in your area that offer beginner classes. If you change your profile to your local town and state, it will help others give you advice more fitting to your area.   -Mike

How much lake effect snow do you get in Ashtabula? 

That should keep your bees well insulated in the winter  :)
