Quoted By:
i did beekeeping for my senior year in high school. we had to do a project and meet up with some people locally who do that "thing". so like i had a friend who learned about falconry, one guy learned about welding, one guy learned about tattooing, etc.
one good resource is to see if you have a beekeeping club around you. we had a group of like 50 people or so who would meet up and talk about shit, what they're doing, help each other out. guys would be making a bunch of boxes and would make you one for cheap if anyone else needed one, or a guy was ordering queens and if you wanted to pool your money, stuff like that.
they were all boomers, i mean i was the only one there younger than about 50 years old. the couple i mentored with must have been fuckin 70 something. but it was really pleasant and it demystified a lot of it. i used to be really scared of bees and i wouldn't want to be near them, but, they really are docile unless you're actually fucking with them.
i hope that when i get out of an apartment and into a house, i'll get a box or two.
