Greetings upon your arrival here, Countryboyky.
So, you've chosen to try bees instead of pigs and calves. I can accept your wife's objections to eating them, but how does she respond to the idea that stings come along with bees? Not trying to scare you off, by any means, bees are a good challenging choice for a farmer's side line. But do remember, that all bees (except drones) come with stingers and no real beekeeper can permanently avoid getting stung, want to or not, protective clothing or not.
That warning having been given, rest assured, as the others have said, we're glad to have you with us and will do our best to help you progress along this chosen path.
