I started off by ordering one package, and ordered supplies.
Then I learned that two are better than one, so you can steal from one in case something goes wrong with the other. So, I changed my order to two packages and ordered more supplies.
Then I was told that nucs stand a better chance of surviving the first year than packages. So, I changed my order to two nucs.
I'm starting my third year and still feel like a newbee. Better start saving your money now because you will find all kinds of beek-related tools and books that you just have to have.
Welcome to the forum and the wonderful world of beekeeping.
