Stationary beekeeping

[ThomasGR]

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any book or article or website dedicated to stationary ( fixed place ) beekeeping.

Probably any that are geared for hobbyists.  Maybe Beekeeping for Dummies or something like that?

Yeah, Beekeeping For Dummies is a pretty good read - even here in Aus - just have to substitute December for June etc and it's all good, although thankfully I was able to safely ignore the stuff on bear attacks and keeping your bees alive through -20 degree C winters and 4 feet of snow.

Very few of the books in the US are specifically about migratory beekeeping.  If anything most of the content is about stationary beekeeping.

In my opinion, the best source for the average beekeeper is Michael Bush's website.

I second that.

Thank you all for your time,
I do not search for hobby level books, exactly the opposite. Of course i am aware of Michael's texts and i was helped more than once by reading them. By stationary beekeeping i mean that there is no option of moving from this "worst" spot, so you have to improve other factors, such as your own techniques. Recognizing flows, uniting colonies for production are subjects that usually covers very small part of usual books. I read exactly the same few paragraphs again and again.

Obviously, there is not such a book written in the way i imagine. I conclude that most of you do not migrate your hives anyway.

Have you read any of Randy Oliver's web site? He has articles on many subjects that may be of interest to you. Some about migrating to almond orchards.{if that is the right term}

Also "Increase Essentials" by Larry Connor may be a good read for you.
