Is beekeeping expensive?
New beekeepers normally start with second hand hives and equipment and a veil, rather than a full bee suit. Beekeepers often have equipment for sale, but ask advice from a seasoned beekeeper on what to get and to ensure that you are obtaining disease free and good quality items. A visit to the Sussex Bee Market in the spring of each year is well worth a visit with its large auction of beekeeping equipment and supplier stalls.
