From the article:
In the first year, the entry cost for a beginner is around $900 to set up a single hive, including equipment and a colony, and to take a course, according to Reault, who is also the owner of New England Beekeeping Supplies in Tyngsboro. As for any hobby, there is an initial investment, said Reault, but unlike most hobbies, the sale of honey may yield sweet dividends.

Something seems high about that.

Sincerely,
Brendhan
