There is some good information in past posts in the bee section. I done know much about bees, but I wanted to welcome you to the forum!

See if there's a local beekeeping club you can join. They usually have classes, mentors, and loaner extraction equipment. Don't fall for the all natural beekeeping methods that doom beginners to failure. Learn from experienced beekeepers that use traditional equipment and methods, later on you can try different techniques. Since you are in Florida start with the Florida Bee Lab. Excellent information and podcast!

The Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory (HBREL) is to advance our understanding of managed honey bees and wild bees in Florida, the U.S., and globally, with a goal of improving the health and productivity of bee pollinators everywhere.
