It's not all that hard. If you're serious, I recommend getting a copy of "Guide to Bees & Honey" by Ted Hooper. It's a little dry at times but it's all useful and/or interesting stuff written by like.. THE bee guy. Guy got an MBE for knowing his **** after all, he knows what he's talking about. Well, he knows about bees anyway.
After reading it, if you're still interested you'll have a crapton more knowledge at your fingertips and a better idea of what you're getting yourself into. And all for the price of a book that's interesting in it's own right.
You need a little capital to start off with if you want to buy an actual hive, a nuc or swarm and equipment.. but a local apiary should help put you on the right track. Mine let us borrow some suits and equipment and we were taught how to manage the apiary's bees.
You'll have to actually join the apiary and pay fees of course to keep renting the land or buying equipment and stuff of course, but it's a hell of a lot better to decide it's a bad idea after attending for a month than after you've bought all the kit.
So yeah. Book, then apiary beekeeping club. Pretty standard way of getting into it.

Thanks for the headsup @Rhea
Just went there and snagged myself a new Bumble familiar (as well as two others!)

@Tinkertal Wow, that's a really detailed a thought-out post, but mine was a quote from an Eddie Izzard skit ;__;
Bees are cool, though, just not my cup of...honey

OH MY LANTA. I'm so excited for new familiars! Maybe I should take a break from my pursuit of KS familiars and instead focus on getting "caught up" on my other familiars. o.o Qirigs, these bumbles, the dappled dunhoof. I'm not super worried about the cobras - they're my long-term leisurely pursuit. *rolls happily* I love having goals to aim for; so happy to see new familiars!

Is 'kay. Bees aren't quite for everyone. Though eating warm honeycomb that's been out of the hive for less on a hot English summer's day with tea and cake? Yessss...
But I'm serious if anyone else in the thread's interested in bees. Get that book and try going to a local beekeeping club. Should sort itself out from there.

@Dragoness Ooooh, so they aren't split up. Time for some hardcore farming in the training grounds then. ^^
