So, we are exactly where we were before - everyone can suggest a good
BEGINNING beekeeper book, but there aren't a whole lot of books out there
for 3rd-year beekeepers.

I thought that too. Decided to travel to meet beekeepers who were battle hardened from decades of experience. I'm no expert, but the people in my book are pretty close to it. My questions probably show my ignorance; they are the questions of a beekeeper of 5 - 7 years experience. Learned a huge amount and made some friends. Hopefully some nice USA bee magazine editor will review "Interviews with Beekeepers" and say that it is a little bit different, and worth a read. The interviewees were: Murray McGregor, Peter Little & David Kemp (UK), Richard Noel (France), Ray Olivarez, Michael Palmer & Randy Oliver (USA) and Peter Bray (NZ). 

I hope this doesn't break forum rules. Apologies if it does.
