This is something I've thought I've wanted to do for years. I've got plenty of fruit trees/bushes, flowers, clover, and other things to keep them busy and fed.
However, every time I think I want to try starting a hive or two, I look at the cost to start. No matter how I look at it, it seems like it would cost at least $2000 for the equipment to just start out. I attend a lot of farm auctions, and never once have I seen bee keeping equipment for auction, nor do I see it in the local classified.
Great local honey is pretty cheap since I live in a major apple raising area (headquarters for Whitehouse and Mussleman).
Am I looking at this all wrong? I'd sure like to try it!
Thanks,
Ken
