Hello and Welcome!

Yes, you can learn a lot here about bees & beekeeping. Be sure to check out the "How to Start Beekeeping" subforum for tips & suggestions covering the basics.

I also recommend getting involved with a local beekeeping club. Clubs are great places to find mentors and get connected with nearby beeks. Looks like you're quite close to the Lorain club:

Welcome! About 4 years ago I wanted to get into beekeeping. No classes, I learned from Beesource and am still learning.... There are many experienced beeks here who enjoy teaching and discussing bees!!!

I'm in Westerville, a suburb of Columbus.

Welcome, There is even a "Beekeeping for Dummies" and it is pretty good. They go cheap on eBay.

Welcome aboard! You wont find a better place to learn from. Ask as many questions as you can, that is the only way that you are going to learn. I am from southern Ohio, if I can help, let me know.
