Setting up as a Bee Keeper or Apiarist is a bit expensive these days, you don't just get a beehive and thats it, they need looking after, at least an hour a day, and special care in winter.
Best to see if there is a local Apiarist group in your area and join that, he might get some cheap tackle of them or when he see's whats involved he might change his mind.
