Want to keep bees but don't know where to start? The first step to keeping bees is learning about bees and the hive.

The second step to becoming a backyard beekeeper is making sure you are not allergic to honey bees. If you are, you should not keep bees. There is no amount of protective gear that can prevent you from ever getting stung. Talk with your physician to see if it is okay to keep bees.

The third step is making sure you have a location to put your bees that is out of the way, won't harm the bees, won't bother the neighbors, and is legal.

The fourth step is to understand the parts of a beehive and the beekeeping equipment you will need. I recommend starting with whatever hive style is most common where you live so it is easy to find equipment as well as someone to ask questions.

The fifth step is to shadow a beekeeper and get a feel for what it's like to open a hive.

The sixth step is to learn the role of the beekeeper and what the beekeeper does.

The seventh step is to order your bees. The eighth step is to order your equipment, assemble and paint it.
