Again this year I am offering a Beginners' Beekeeping Class in April. You are welcome to email me with your intent so that I can save a place for you right away (then send along your check in the mail to 2376 Santa Barbara Drive Santa Fe, NM 87505; make checks payable to Steve Wall).
These classes will take a fast-track approach to getting you into the hobby without a huge commitment of time and money. You will learn all you need to become an informed beekeeper by attending only one 4-hour class at $135.00 (other beekeeping classes require multiple classes and start at $350).
If you so choose, you can also purchase the hives you will need from me. See the attached flier or my website, www.buckinbee.com, for more details about these classes and equipment.
