Ellie and I have been taking full advantage of the Potrero Hill branch of the San Francisco public library. It was recently renovated, has the best views of San Francisco, and is only two blocks away from our apartment (although they are two steep, uphill blocks). Ellie has been taking advantage of their extensive DVD collection to catch up on The Wire while on maternity leave, and I've been requesting every beekeeping book that they have in the SF system. Here are the books I'm currently reading:
A Year in the beeyard / Roger A. Morse
Hive management : a seasonal guide for beekeepers / Richard E. Bonney
Keeping bees / John Vivian ; illustrated by Liz Buel
The New comb honey book / by Richard Taylor.
Starting right with bees : a beginner's handbook on beekeeping / John A. Root.
The backyard beekeeper : an absolute beginner's guide to keeping bees in your yard and garden / Kim
These are currently checked out but I have a hold placed on them:
Beekeeping for dummies / by Howland Blackiston ; foreword by Kim Flottum.
The backyard beekeeper's honey handbook : a guide to creating, harvesting, and cooking with naturalhoneys/ by Kim Flottum
Langstroth's hive and the honey-bee : the classic beekeeper's manual / L.L. Langstroth.
Some of the books have been much more helpful and are more reader-friendly than others. I'll try to write a couple posts about the books I've especially enjoyed.
