How to buy honey bees
Decide what type of bees you want to buy.
There are many different kinds of honeybees, and each comes with their own good and bad traits. The type you'll choose will depend on what you want to get out of keeping bees, and how you hope to interact with the bees.
For example, as a new beekeeper, you might want to choose a type of honeybee known for being less prone to swarms, and on the gentler side. The italian bee, for example, is a really good option for a beginner.
