Hi Spencer11,
Glad to hear you are interested in starting beekeeping. I'm up the road a bit in Sutton so we are almost neighbors.

Radar is right, join a club or two. Ours is the Kearsarge Beekeepers Association, http://kbanh.wordpress.com/ and you would be welcome to join.

You should read as much as you can, listen to podcasts and find a mentor in a club if you can. You can also learn lots from this forum and others.

We are having a bee school right now and are half way through it. I bet you could get into the last two classes if you called the contact person on our website.

The NH Beekeepers, http://www.nhbeekeepers.org/NHBeeSchools.html, site lists some other schools that are going on this year also. Maybe you could get into one of them.

Good luck to you,
John
