I have a swarm that moved into a corner of my deck last year, and now it appears they might be swarming again...  I'd like to relocate this swarm, and perhaps give the new swarm somewhere to go...

So how do I become a beginner beekeeper?  The swarm in the corner of the deck has been there a year+ now, and we don't really have any problems with them, and I'm sure they are good for our agri/permaculture.

I have plenty of acreage, what do I do now?

There's an ongoing bee thread in the Food and Garden forum.
Several helpful knowledgeable bee people there.

Take a look at top bar hives - they can be built fairly easily from scrap wood.
