Hi!
I'm on a 1/2 acre in a neighborhood, have a garden but also had cherry trees that were being woefully badly pollinated.
I decided to stop by a house that had a "honey for sale" sign in a nearby town, and started talking to the old fellow there. He had some hives, and he agreed to sell me an extra, and the rest is history. Now I've got 8 hives in the backyard.
Depending on the type of person you are, a local person to help out is invaluable, both to get started and for some guidance. My old guy was pretty old school, and while fairly open to trying stuff, had his own way. I respected that and once I started understanding things then I did it my own way.
And take a moment to fill out your location on your profile, beekeeping is different depending on the climate (and only a 100 miles can make a difference!) and that helps us tailor advice to your situation if you have questions.
