 Probably the most important thing I would recommend people spend the most money on is protective equipment. Buy really good bee veils, bee suits. Bee proof stuff, so you don't get stung a lot? Yeah, that's the one thing I recommend. And that way you don't develop a fear of the bees. Eventually you could probably work your way up to not wearing gloves while you work the bees and just using a veil. But that takes a little bit of experience and a gentle hand while you work the bees.
