Hello, I saw on line Richar Taylor's How TO was the best one, but it is out of print. I plan to start a new hive in a residential area, so if there is a book out there that studies this, it would be helpful. I know very little but i have an uncle-in-law about 600 miles away that has about 30 hives.......but I cannot exhaust him with questions on the phone! Any help is truly appreciated. -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l for rules, FAQ and other info ---
