You'll have to decide which hive type you want the main types for a normalish person being langstroth and top bar.
Top bar tends to produce less honey but they are cheaper to make.
Lang is expensive but can produce more honey.
Which ever you pick I recommend getting a nuc box for the type. It will come with some brood in various stages and a little honey. It's much easier for them to get started if you do it that way.
I also recommend starting with 2 hives so you have something to compare them against and if you have a weak hive and strong hive you can transplant bees.
