Cool. This might be useful to you and others wondering where to start and what it might involve and cost. Mr. B

I know that there are cheaper ways to get started in beekeeping - shop around and you will find certain items for less; It can still be expensive, but it will be interesting to see for how much less you can get started. Mr. B
