The New Hampshire Beekeepers Association is having a meeting March 16, 2013. They usually meet quite close to Concord. http://www.nhbeekeepers.org/index.htm
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.
i actually get up to Sutton sometimes, but i plan to join at least 1 club and have been readying as much as possible, i also plan to take a bee school. i was actually gonna do the one in kearsarge but didnt have time so im doin the one in concord. i will have to come by and see your set up at some point this spring
You can also check out "Imagine That Honey" on facebook. Jodi has classes at her house in Keene, they're once a month from February to September...I learned a lot from her!
Welcome to beekeeping...it's so much fun!
