Interested in beekeeping, How to start?

Hi, I’ve recently moved to New Jersey from Toronto and it was a quick decision by my husband. He got a new job and a better one here, so we just moved at the earliest. Our packages are still on the way, most probably will be in any of the trucks of the mover, Armstrong Moving www.armmove.com (Toronto).
Okay, so while I was in Toronto, my friend once took me to his farm and he introduced me to bee keeping or bee farming, right? I kinda liked the idea and as I’m not having much to do other than managing our home. I would like to try it out. We do have some land, not that big. But, can I start it as a hobby, in a small scale? Maybe in some time, if everything favors, make it bigger.
So, how to start?
