How do I start beekeeping with a small hive

Starting with a small hive, such as a nucleus hive (nuc), is a great way for beginners to get started. A nuc is a small, manageable colony that includes a queen, workers, and brood. This allows you to monitor the bees closely and learn about hive management before expanding to larger hives. Start by placing the nuc in a location with plenty of flowers, and ensure you have the necessary equipment like a smoker and protective gear.
