FAQ
Is beekeeping expensive to start?
The initial cost of beekeeping can be intimidating to new beekeepers. Getting started with beekeeping can be an expensive hobby often costing around $300 for the hive and around another $100 for bees during the first year (depending on if you purchase a nuc or a package). Most folks recommend starting out with two hives for a variety of important reasons.
How do I become a beekeeper in NC?
To become a Certified Beekeeper, the following steps need to be followed.
- Be a current NCSBA member.
- Pass a written test, which is administered through a local NCSBA chapter or given at one of the statewide conferences or testing events.
- Pass a practical test administered by a Certified Level Beekeeper or higher.
- The Practical test will only be valid if given after the candidate successfully passes the Certified Level written exam.
When should I start a beehive in NC?
If you can get them early (late April, early May… regionally dependent) we prefer packages over nucs. Any other time of year, a nucleus hive is ideal. In our region, honey bees are available from May until the end of August.
