This is dangerous territory, but if there were only to be one book available I think it should be The Beekeeper's Handbook <http://www.amazon.com/Beekeepers-Handbook-Diana-Sammataro/dp/0801476941/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1420736482&sr=1-1&keywords=diana+sammataro>May 13, 2011 by Diana Sammataro <http://www.amazon.com/Diana-Sammataro/e/B001HPEM9C/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1420736482&sr=1-1> and Alphonse Avitabile . *Honestly, I think there should be at least another 2-3 regularly resourced. But the request was for one and I think that listed is the best.* -- Lloyd Office/Honey House 518-573-8246 Lloyd Spear Beekeeper Inc. Ross Rounds Inc.
