Welcome to the site Steve!

Keep reading books on beekeeping and come to this site often. Then you should be ready in the spring.

Ditto that. Clubs often offer beginning beekeeping classes, and are great places to find mentors and get connected to nearby beekeepers:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!  I've been in touch with with someone at my local beekeeping club, and should be attending my first meeting in November.  I also just got a new book!
