As a new home owner with a nice big yard in an agricultural section of Maine, I am considering the possibility of keeping bees some day.
I plan on finding a local beekeeping mentor; but in the meantime, I would like suggestions on any good beekeeping books or references that I can peruse.
I am a complete newbee, so if there are any books that are generally known to be great sources of beekeeping knowledge, I will add them to my Christmas wish list. Thanks!
Also, if you keep bees in Maine (I live in Auburn), and you'd be willing to show me the ropes, I would love to provide you with some free labor next season.
