Thinking about trying my hand at beekeeping. I see a decent amount of used equipment for sale.

My daughter tried, last year, but she was not at school when the bees arrived. A friend was supposed to take care of them and introduce them to their new home, but that didn't work out too well. I believe she is going to try again this year ...

Any first hand advice on buying used hives and equipment? I’m not adverse to getting new if it is a drastic increase of success establishing a hive
You know, I am no expert, if it were cheap enough I would be tempted, but I have made my own. The labour of cleaning the used hives properly quickly offsets most savings IMO.
