Hello and Welcome!
I'm sure you'll find this forum to be an informative place to learn about bees and beekeeping.
I recommend that you get involved with a local club. Clubs often offer beginning beekeeping classes and are great places to find mentors and get connected to nearby beekeepers. Hopefully one of these is near you:
