bee lover seeking advice

My younger brother and I love bees, and I’d love to have a colony of my own or at least know more about how we can support our local bee keepers in
Garland, Texas?

I’m not trying to hop on some trend or anything, I’m really passionate about adding to the ecosystem around me and I have so much yard space that I’d love to do something with.

Please tell me if this is a stupid idea lol
