All those mentioned already are great. I really love Rusty Burlew's website HoneyBeeSuite.com. Any of Tom Seeley's books are good. For basic management I like "The Beekeeper's Handbook" by Diana Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile. My favorite bee biology book is "Honey-Maker: How the Honey Bee Worker Does What She Does" by Rosanna L. Mattingly, but it's published by a small publisher, and I don't know if it'd be available to you, Rothbart. I'm also reading Mark L. Winston's "Biology of the Honey Bee" right now and really enjoying it.

Thanks.. I think I have enough now to make myself a beekeeper
I agree with HoneyPump.
Go to bushfarms.com and read through Michael Bush's website
QuoteThanks.. I think I have enough now to make myself a beekeeper
Reading books will not make you a beekeeper. It will help but beeing in the hive without gloves will push you along faster.
I agree books will not make you a beekeeper. In fact I tested this on myself.
Started with 10 hives when everybody told me 3 is enough. But me hardheaded
and with trust in my ability to learn didn't listen. And then swarms started
coming out. Good times.

It's certainly not your fault. I just can't believe none of us mentioned Cushman to you, he's a wealth of information.
