Check with your state/regional college or university's cooperative extension to see if they have a class offered. Many smaller colleges, such as community colleges, offer beekeeping classes as part of the community education programs. Additionally, many beekeeping organizations offer introductory classes for those wanting to become beekeepers.  Do an online search for beekeeping classes in your area. Schools that specialize in agriculture are most likely to host such a course. The class may cost you a couple hundred dollars, but the experience will teach you the many things you'll need to know about bee keeping. Numerous books and websites offer advice and instruction about beekeeping. However, make sure the author is well-versed and knowledgeable about the topic by reading their biography and researching them on the internet. Books on beekeeping can offer great help for the beginner.  If you are taking a class on beekeeping or have taken one in the past, ask your instructor for some further reading suggestions. If that person is really knowledgeable about beekeeping, they will likely know the best books to read on the subject. You can also speak to the reference librarian at the library for recommendations. It is always a good idea to talk to someone who is already beekeeping about their process and tips for caring for bees. This is especially true if you are considering becoming a professional beekeeper. An active beekeeper can typically answer any questions you have and can give you some practical advice for starting up your own hive. In exchange for information and advice, consider offering to help a beekeeper with their beekeeping for free. Getting some hands-on experience with beekeeping before you get your own hive can be very helpful and the beekeeper will likely appreciate the free labor you are providing. You can be a beekeeper who has one hive or you can be a beekeeper that tends to many, many hives. The amount of bee hives you set up and care for will depend on what you want to get out of your efforts and how dedicated to bee keeping you are. That said, in most cases if you are just starting out with beekeeping, you should start small. Figure out how to tend to your bees before investing a lot of time and effort in numerous hives. If you simply want to get some honey for your family and help pollinate your garden, then 1 or 2 hives may be enough. If you want to produce enough honey to sell, then you will need many more hives to get enough honey. In general, a well-established hive can produce about 25 pounds (11 kg) of honey.

Q: If you know that you want a thick caramel sauce, cut down on the amount of milk that the recipe suggests. Leave out about 1/3 or 1/2 of the recommended milk. This will result in a caramel sauce that’s thicker and that you won’t have to spend extra time simmering. For example, if a recipe calls for 1.5 cups (360 mL) of milk, try only using 1 cup (250 mL). Most caramel sauces are made by caramelizing sugar and adding milk and a little salt. If you increase the amount of sugar in the recipe you’ll end up with a thicker caramel. Try increasing the sugar by about 1/3. The amount of milk suggested by the recipe, then, will leave you with a thick caramel sauce. Be aware that this will also increase the sweet, caramel flavor of the sauce. If you want a caramel sauce with a milder flavor, avoid adding the extra sugar. If you want a thick caramel sauce but would rather avoid altering the amounts of ingredients given in a recipe, you can simply use heavy whipping cream instead of milk. The whipping cream will taste the same as milk in the final product, but will produce a thicker sauce. Switching out milk for cream will result in a rich, heavy caramel sauce.
A: Reduce the amount of milk. Add more sugar to the sauce. Substitute cream for the milk.

Article: Before you endorse the check, make sure it's one that your bank will accept, and that all the information on the front is correct. If the person who gave you the check spelled your name wrong or made a mistake, you may want to give it back to them and have them write you another check.  While some banks will accept a check that has been changed as long as the person who wrote the check initials the change, many banks are suspicious of this. It's better to have the person write you another check. A valid check has a line at the bottom with the routing number and account number. If that line isn't present, the bank will not be able to process the check. If only your name is listed on the payee line of the check, your signature is all that is needed to cash or deposit the check. If someone's else name is also listed, they only have to sign the check if the word "and" or the symbol "&" appears between the 2 names.  The default rule is that a check with 2 or more names can be cashed or deposited individually by any of the people listed on the check. If the check says "or," or includes ambiguous language or symbols (such as a dash or a slash), either of the people named can cash or deposit the check. If the check is written to you "℅" (meaning "care of") someone else, only your signature is needed. They generally cannot cash or deposit the check without your signature. However, if you have a joint bank account, they may be able to deposit the check in that account on your behalf without your signature. If you flip over the check, you'll see 3 to 5 gray lines. These typically appear on the upper short side of the check. You'll also see a solid line with instructions not to write below the line. The bank needs the remaining blank space under the endorsement area to document the processing of the check. Make sure your signature doesn't extend into that space, or the bank may refuse the check. To endorse a check, you typically only have to sign your name in pen using blue or black ink. If your name on the check differs from your name on your government-issued photo ID, or on your bank account, you may want to print the correct spelling of your name under your signature. If you're signing a business check, include the business's name on the line above your name. You may also want to add your job title to show you are authorized to cash or deposit the check in the name of the company. Once you've signed the check, it becomes a "bearer instrument," meaning anyone who finds it can cash it. If you're traveling to the bank, don't sign your check until you get there.  If you go to a bank to cash the check and you don't have an account with that bank, you typically must show a government-issued photo ID. You may also have to provide a thumbprint for identification services. Check cashing services will charge you a fee to cash the check. Banks typically charge a fee as well, unless you have an account with that bank. If you don't have a bank account, you may want to take this opportunity to open one, using the check is your initial balance. Otherwise, you can get the check cashed at a check-cashing service available at discount or grocery stores. You can also go to the bank that issued the check. That bank will have its name and logo printed on the front of the check.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Verify that the information on the check is correct. Determine who must endorse the check. Find the gray lines on the back of the check. Sign your name on one of the gray lines. Cash or deposit the check immediately.
