The community of beekeepers is fabulous too, she said. "The bees themselves are just endlessly fascinating," Gallucci said about why she's a bee keeper. Most bee boxes have from eight to 10 frames, she said. Two bee colonies are recommended for beginners, Gallucci said, because one colony usually puts up more food than the other, and a beekeeper can switch out frames to help the less successful colony. Less time is needed in the winter and summer, she said. Sometimes beekeepers have to supplement their bees' food supply to make sure they have enough to eat through the winter. Gallucci estimates an investment of from $600 to $700 is needed for protective equipment wooden ware, which are frames where the bees build their colonies and the bees themselves.Ī beekeeper needs to devote an hour every five or six days in the spring and an hour every five or six days in the fall to their honeybee colonies, Gallucci said.

"They've got to build up enough honey, build up enough wax, build up enough population to survive through the honey flow and into the dearth," she said, referring to the time in the summer when fewer plants blooming. "We encourage you to just get your bees through the first year," Gallucci said.
