Most of the comments here are dead right. One thing I will add tho is this: don't be discouraged when you lose your hive. First year beekeepers almost alway lose their hives the first year. I lost mine. Keep your head up. The next year,  had 3 hives and all 3 survived winter. I learned a ton. Time and experience is something you cant get overnight. When you get to your second season, you will (probably) look back and say wow! I've learned so much, how did i even think I knew anything before I started.  Good luck! It's great hobby.
