Hi All

By far the most consulted book on my shelves (and I have more than 350)
is...
 A Manual of Beekeeping - E. B. Wedmore

The beekeeping encyclopeadia by hooper and morse is very useful, as is Eva
Crane's 'Beekeeping'.

I would also recommend 'A Modern Bee Farm' written by Sammuel Simmins in the
1880s... This book will show that there is not much that is 'new' in
beekeeping.

A more recent book that I often consult was written by a friend of mine,
John Atkinson,  the title 'Background to Bee Breeding'.

ABC & XYZ by Root is good, but it's content varies according to year of
publishing.
