Other recommended reading:

The Life of the Bee by Maurice Maeterlinck, Dodd, Mead & Co., $4.00 (or see your library). This work was written around the turn of the century and is as philosophical and poetic as it is informative. Maeterlinck takes you inside the society of the bees to share their life from the spring thaw to winter clustering.

ABC and XY2 of Bee Culture by A.1. Root, revised 34th edition, 1972, $6.50 from The A.I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio 44256 (or from MOTHER'S Bookshelf). This classic has been going strong since 1877 and is organized like an encyclopedia so that any question can be answered quite easily.

Starting Right With Bees by The A.I. Root Co., revised 16th edition, 1973, available for $1.10 from Root (or from MOTHER'S Bookshelf). A useful paperback manual for beginners.

First Lessons in Beekeeping by C.P. Dadant, available for $1.00 from American Bee Journal, Hamilton, Illinois 63241 (or from MOTHER'S Bookshelf). An excellent guide for both beginners and advanced beekeepers.

The Hive and the Honey Bee. This work was originally written in 1853 by the great-granddaddy of beekeeping: the same L.L. Langstroth who invented the movable frame hive in worldwide use today. In 1889 the book was revised (at the author's request) by C.P. Dadant, another distinguished early authority. Many further revisions have been made by associates of Dadant & Sons, publishers of the American Bee Journal. . . most recently in 1973, to celebrate the firm's centennial. This newest version-edited by Roy A. Grout-can be ordered from Dadant & Sons, Hamilton, Illinois 63241 (or from MOTHER'S Bookshelf) for $6.75 and consists of technical articles by various experts on the habits and culture of bees and the commercial production of honey and beeswax.

How to Keep Bees and Sell Honey by Walter T. Kelley (available for $1.00 from the Walter T. Kelley Co., Clarkson, Kentucky 42726). Finally, you'll find helpful articles and many classified and display advertisements for bees and equipment in the following magazines:

American Bee Journal, Hamilton, Illinois 63241 (subscriptions are $4.00 per year).
Gleanings in Bee Culture, 623 West Liberty Street, Medina, Ohio 44256 ($3.50 per year).
