It is good to learn of the Bonney books.  In the past on this network, I
have been recommending two of the Sue Hubbell books:  A COUNTRY YEAR
(Harper & Row) and A BOOK OF BEES (Ballantine).  Most of the questions
posed on BEE-L seem to be answered quite nicely in her books.  Best of all
she seems to nuture an excitement about what a bee colony and beekeeping
are all about.  At least, my undergraduate interns come away from those
books quite excited about learning more of bees.  The books, of course,
provide essentially no information about how to keep bees.
 
   Now I will have to read the Bonney books.  Thanks for the references.
