Join Your Local Bee Club
It's strongly recommended that new beekeepers join a bee club. The advantages include access to expert advice, beekeeping education, opportunities to practice beekeeping, mentorship, group discussions, and guest speakers, to name just a few!
For New Hampshire Beekeepers - there are nine local beekeeping associations, and they can be found on the NH Beekeepers Association website, here.
For other US Beekeepers - a list of associations by state is available, here.
