Many thanks to everyone who has written in about Tuesday’s urban beekeeping story asking about bees, beekeeping and honey.

If you are interested in getting started as a beekeeper, here are a few resources:

• The Backwards Beekeepers’ blog
• Kirk Anderson’s website
• Beekeeping resources, including where to get supplies and academic sources

Good luck harvesting bees and discovering the magic of your very own honey.
