If you are looking to buy used equipment please be very careful about getting used hives or frames as they could be infected with American Foul Brood or other diseases which could cause the loss of your honeybees. The best thing is to start out with new hives if possible.

A good source of information is about beekeeping is your local beekeeping club. You can usually find them by contacting your county extension office.

Also remember that most states require that hives be registered and inspected for disease. This helps to protect our honeybees by finding disease and pests before they get out of control.

Good Luck with your bees! It is a fun and interesting hobby.
