Like politics, bee keeping is local. Like Saly PB said seek out local bee keepers. Easy to find as they often will have "HONEY FOR SALE" signs out. Don't stress or overwhelm yourself with too much information.

While beekeeping is local, unfortunately varroa mites are not. Varroa are the number one killer of bees. Learn as much as you can on the control and life cycle of varroa mites. At the end of July you want a mite wash of 3 mites or less per 300 bees.
