I lean heavily on a bee keeping paper back book that I got from Walter Kelly Co. in Kentucky. (I am writing this at work and I'm sorry, I can't remember the exact title - if it's important, let me know and I'll find out and drop you another line). If you can, get a copy (better yet, a subscription :-) ) of the magazines, "American Bee Journal" and "Gleenings in Bee Culture". Both have lots of useful tips as well as advertisments and mailing addresses for supplies, etc. Good luck - keep in touch. ==================================================================== Tom Fisher [log in to unmask] | "...if by chance we find each Phone (317) 494-6616 | other, it is beautiful." - F.
