[QUOTE="Otto, post: 4633, member: 73"] Beekeeping is exactly what the word says. When you are starting out your sole aim should be to learn how to keep healthy and happy colonies of bees. All the other things (honey, pollination services to your garden, wax etc) are all by-products of well-maintained hives. I've started lots of people with their first bees and most just want to keep bees and they usually do alright. The ones that start with an 'I really want my own honey' attitude usually less so. As far as an expensive hobby goes I think many hobbies are considerably more expensive than beekeeping and you get little other than feeling good about yourself in return. [/QUOTE]
