Hello, I'm planning to raise a red maple tree for beekeeping in the future. Since I'm planning on planting when it's a seed opposed to buying a sapling I was wondering if I'd be able to grow it inside my house in a container of sorts. The reason why I want to keep it inside is to protect it while it's vulnerable and give it a head start and then put it in a larger container when it gets a bit bigger. Has anyone done this before? Would I need to use some kind of growth light while it's inside? What kind of soil would I need? What other things would I need? Would moving it outside after keeping it outside for a while be a bad thing?

Also, how fast is the growth rate for red maples? Will I be able to keep it inside for long?

I'm also planning on doing this with a Black Locust tree, so any comments appreciated!

Thanks and sorry for the amount of questions!
