The public library here has quite a few books with general info on
beekeeping. I recommend starting there because it is free!!
The most pleasurable reading book I have come across is "A Book of Bees" by
Sue Hubbell. It is written by a once professional beekeeper about her year
of working with bees. It has information for the beginner and the hobbyist
also. Like I said, it is a pleasure to read. Not filled with a lot of
textbook type of information. A lot of the beekeeping supply houses sell
this one. If you cannot locate it let me know by e-mail and I'll forward
the info to you.
