This blog has good perspective from a new beekeeper. He has had some glitches along the way but was able to get through them just fine. Dealing with a swarm your first year is always challenging but he made all the right decisions.
The pictures are great and add a lot to his beekeeping venture.

This blog is for beekeepers in Northern climates. I will be describing what I am doing with my bees on a monthly schedule. Copying any text or photos is forbidden except with written authorization of the author.

This blog explains how I keep bees. It works for me, it might not work for you. Use my methods at your own risk.
Always wear protective clothing and use a smoker when working bees.
