Here is the execution plan for myself as a beginner beekeeper:
- Idea: Beekeeping as a hobby.
- Execution Plan: Action items for a beginner beekeeper.
- Research & Education. (In progress.)
- Internet resources. (In progress. I will post another blog entry, soon, compiling all the resources I found.)
- Websites.
- Blogs.
- Forums: BeeSource.com and BeeMaster.com.
- Books: Books to read, Books to start with.
- Classes: First Step: Introductory Beekeeping Class.
- Local Beekeepers Clubs.
- Mentor: Richard Baxter, my mentor.
- Action Items.
- Find a location, for my hives. Check legal restrictions and immediate neighbors.
- Find insurance.
- Buy the equipments: hives, hive tool, smoker, bee jacket, veil, and gloves.
- Order bees around January to be delivered in April or catch a swarm.
- Practice...
- Goals.
- Primary: Practice chemical-free beekeeping and have my bees survive a winter.
- Secondary: Eat my own naturally-produced comb honey at a Saturday breakfast.
