First Choose an appropriate area in your
backyard to start your honey bee farming. Start
with one or two hives, and place them where there
are lots of nectar- and pollen-producing
flowering plants.

There should be lots of shade, no wind, and
in a discrete area where they won't disturb your
non-beekeeping neighbors.

basically take care of themselves you just need
to check up on them every couple of weeks.
Spring
Spring is definitely the time to get
new bees and start a hive! Read up in late winter
on beekeeping, plan your hive, buy or build it,
and start going to those local beekeeping clubs.
