Catch Up on Beekeeping Reading

Read everything you can find about bees and beekeeping. This is the time to learn. Research pests. Explore strains of honeybees and their characteristics. Learn techniques for re-queening a hive. There are many good books available as well as trade magazines. The Beekeeper’s Bible is a must have in my opinion and readily available through online bookstores.
