Set Up Your First Nuc Colony
You don't need to start with full bee hives. You can begin with a small, 'starter' hive A.K.A. a 'Nuc'. Start with one of these, get your feet wet, and THEN start adding full bee hives. Nucs are great for letting the first time bee keeper learn the ropes. and figure out what your bees do and don't like. Figure this out first, keep them happy, help their brood grow, and the honey will follow.
