Most of the apiculturists you'll meet at the fair or buy honey from will know who and how to get you to a class ! Where to buy equipment, hives, and a few queens. Good Luck to you ! I'm sure you will find it honorable and satisfying ! You may try the "headwaters" on county "home" road just north of the sheriff's office, and the Edison Depot Saturday mornings. Ask perfect strangers or the Ham Radio guys there after 0830. You will have good luck !
Probably should contact the extension service
