Beekeeping books online

[brer]

I am a newbee.  I just built my first hive and getting ready to build some more over the winter in preparation for spring.

I was perusing E-bay and found a whole slew of E-books sold on disk.  As far as I can tell, all of the books were in the public domain, ie the copyrights have lapsed on them.

I did a little surfing and found an old site I used to frequent a bit that had several of the titles.  Including Lorenzo Langstroth's book.  It is actually a very good read.

The website is gutenberg.org.

Thanks for the links, The Cornell one is very nice.    I am currently reading through the american beekeeper Vol 1. :)

Also a quick search through Google Book Search will produce a large quantity of out-of-print books and older magazines. As I read through these older books, I marvel at the amount of apparently "lost" beekeeping lore not found in more modern books.
