Start small
Your first hive is a magical thing
Beekeeping isn't hard — but it rewards patience, observation, and a willingness to let the bees tell you what they need.
Most beginners start with 2 hives (always start with 2 — they help each other), a good suit, a smoker, and the right local knowledge.
What Sets Us Apart
The Weeks Difference
Three generations of beekeeping. Zero shortcuts.
Start in Spring
Order your bees (called a "nuc") in early spring. They need time to build up before summer nectar flow.
Location Matters
Morning sun. Afternoon shade in summer. Near water. Away from wind. Safe from bears.
Inspect Monthly
Pop the lid every 2–4 weeks. Look for: queen, eggs, brood pattern, food stores, disease signs.
