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.

Reading books will not make you a beekeeper. It will help but beeing in the hive without gloves will push you along faster.

rothbart · February 28, 2021, 12:42:49 AM

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.
