I'm assuming that you're not actually in NYC, so the best way is to ask a local beekeeping club near you.

This list is a good start: https://agriculture.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2026/02/beekeeper_club_directory.pdf

Some clubs may be defunct, or their websites or Facebook groups may not have the latest information, so just start contacting a bunch of them and get a live human to ask about the state of organizations in your area.

Go to a meeting to find out what classes and mentoring they offer.

If you're a first responder/veteran, there are some online programs also like mission beelieve.

Hard pass, I can google just as good as the next person and would rather build out a local network.
