You can also call your local state Department of Conservation to see if they have a program about them; one of my DOC locations has an actual glass apiary you can visit, so you can observe the bees up close and personal. Try your local "butterfly house," as well as the botanical gardens. If they don't have bees, they might know an organization that does. And lastly, your local extension office may have some recommendations on where to find a beehive.
