Hello dear, I was wondering how one starts bee-keeping.

you can eiither buy and put together a hiive and iintroduce a colony by your2elf, or you can fiind a local beekeeper and get an occupiied hiive ready to go. once you move iit iinto your yard you have two keep iit clo2ed up for a couple of day2 2o the bee2 get u2ed to beiing 2omewhere diifferent - iif you let them out 2traiight away theyll get lo2t and diie.once your bee2 are 2ettled iin you ba2iically ju2t leave them alone? every couple of month2 you have two harve2t the honey though. two do thii2 you really need 2ome protectiive gear becau2e theyre generally not happy wiith 2omeone comiing along and pulling apart their hiive. then you open up the hiive, and 2moke the bee2 - thii2 driive2 them lower iinto the hiive. once youve done that you remove a couple of the frame2. you then have two uncap the honey - the comb will have caps over the iindiiviidual 2ectiion2, you need two remove the2e 2o you can extract the honey. then you can eiither u2e an extractor or ju2t manually 2iieve the comb two get your honey.
