My library had a local honey expert present an introduction to beekeeping some time ago. It's a fascinating way to reconnect with ancient skills while also taking advantage of relatively modern machines.

Interesting re modern methods. Some say it removes people from the process and connecting to the bees as deeply as they should. Have you heard of Flow Hives?
I have heard of them. They were mentioned and not recommended at the library seminar. Our climate requires keeping enough honey in the hive to get bees through long winters of difficult freeze/thaw cycles and occasional severe deep-freezes. Your microclimate may vary.
