What basic equipment is needed to get started? What honey bee pests have the greatest impact on local hives? What varieties of honey bees are best adapted for the climate of Piedmont North Carolina? What kind of personal protection equipment is needed? Where can one find local resources and supplies? Find out what it takes to Become a Beekeeping Family in North Carolina by attending this online program.
