This is the best beehive I've used. I kept bees in my back yard in downtown Boulder, Colorado, and this hive is perfect for an urban setting. It is easy to maintain and harvest honey from. You don't need all the expensive equipment like you do with the traditional Langstroth hives that we are familiar with. I would also be happy to help you source some bees and the small amount of other equipment that is needed. Bees are actually very easy to deal with and with this type of hive, its really easy to do as a hobby. It costs about $300 total (bees, hive, and beginner equipment) to get started. The bees come in the mail, and away you go. Honey by July.
