Here’s a book I wish had been around when I started working bees. The Beekeeper’s Handbook is a well-illustrated introduction covering most of the basics, from site location and equipment to the installation of package bees to basic management techniques. It’s the best beginner’s book I’ve seen, and most readable, so I won’t quibble about small stuff like the authors’ hang-up on mandatory chemotherapy.
With this book and some equipment you’ll be on your way. If you’re beginning, you’d do well to find a local beekeeper and thus benefit from someone else’s experience. More fun is to make contact with two local beekeepers. You’ll soon discover that they disagree with each other half the time – that beekeeping is an art, not a science. With this understanding, you’ll move forward with a more flexible mind.
