Aspiring Beekeeper needs help:
I am looking to purchase the Beginner beekeeping kit from betterbee products, www.betterbee.com/products.asp?dept=219 is this to much equipment for just starting out? I am wanting to do this for my kids whom are 10 and 11 to get them into it for thier 4H project as well as to teach them a little about nature and make a little coin in the process. I am not overly concerned about making alot of money if any, this is just a hobby I have really wanted to get into for a long time. I also live in a subdivision out in the county on Half acre tracts. Yes I checked to see if there was anything in the HOA which there wasnt but any ideas of how to reduce my beehive's visibility so as not to alarm people (my neighbors all for it he is retired and has a huge garden so its a plus for him). I was thinking about putting them near some bushes would that be a bad idea as long as I am not blocking their ventilation?.....sorry I have a ton of questions.
