The Beekeeper's Handbook, Third Edition

by: Alphonse Avitabile, Diana Sammataro
This is a very complete book on bees. I recommend it fully. When I bought my hive kit (after reading the For Dummies book) this is the book they included. An excellent choice. Other vendors include other books.

You can even see diagrams of the anatomy of the three bee sexes.

Get the book, get some bees, manage them responsibly and protect your food supply.

Hive Management: A Seasonal Guide for Beekeepers

by: Richard E. Bonney
I bought three books at the same time, this one, his other one, "Beekeeping, a Practical Guide," and "Beekeeping for Dummies" They cover much of the same information but each has variations. All are readable and informative. I bought all three because beekeepers told me it was advisable to read several different books. I am glad I did. I ordered woodenware, but am too late to get bees this year. I will be well prepared when I do acquire them in the spring of 2011.
