In the past, I've had 1 or 2 requests per year from people who want a colony or two of bees. This year, I've already had 7 requests to get people started. While I want to help, this is more than I can reasonably do given the number of colonies I have. Are any other beekeepers seeing this level of beginner interest?

Yes seems like there are alot more people interested in having a couple hives of bees around.

new beekeepr here. Have bought 3 nucs this year. 2 from one source...called back last week asking for a 3rd...they were sold out. Found another source and bought the 3rd one the other day. At our area beekeeping club that meets once a month.....there are always about 6-12 new people intrested in learning. if your in the business....I'd make as many nuc splits this fall as you can and you should be able to make a killing at whatever price you feel is fair come springtime.
