Do. The local Association would help, and this is the right time of year in a way. You've got all winter to read up on beekeeping, and attend some meetings, you can get a couple of cheap hives in Thorne's winter sale (they'll know about that, or failing that I will), and they'll surely find you some local bees next June.
