In many cases, people are willing to pay you money to remove bees from places they are not wanted. In terms of getting bees, these bees are the best option when you startup.
When you catch a swarm, this is the least work that you ever have to do to get bees for free. Place empty boxes that have had bees in them near a big apiary or another place where beekeepers have a lot of hives.
If you cannot get paid to get bees, or catch some FreeBees, then buying a hive is probably the next easiest way to start keeping bees. Beekeepers often retire and sell hives.
As we mentioned above, getting paid to remove bees is great when you start beekeeping. However, I would suggest for your first few removals, do not charge
When you start removing bees you stop being you – as in your name – and become the “Bee Lady” or the “Bee Man”. Most people will not remember your name.
