My first book on #beekeeping is autographed by #KimFlottum, "Keep the #honey coming!" 🐝 In addition to The Backyard Beekeeper, other beginner books I recommend are Beekeeping for Dummies by Howland Blackiston and Hive Management by Richard Bonney. I hear that Sammataro's "Beekeeper's Handbook" is a must-have. Note that these books (as most are) are written for Langstroth hive style beekeepers. For Topbar beekeeping, Les Crowder's Top-bar Beekeeping is a must. Want something free? I'm in the middle of editing it with updated thoughts from Marty, but on my website you can download Marty Hardison's "The Appropriate Beehive: an Introduction to Topbar Beekeeping." 303beekeeper.com #beekeeperlife #topbarhivebeekeeping #shelfie #shelfiesunday
