Loving the herd life
Whenever I get into something, I always like to read about it first. And while reading on the 'net is fun and productive (as far as searching goes), it's not as satisfying as curling up by the fire and reading a real book. I look for books written by authors that know their craft or topic, and the love of their topic shines through in how they discuss and share the various aspects.
So since I decided I would do bees, this is the list of books I have gathered so far. I'm looking to you all for comment on any of them, or any additional titles that should be added to the list, and why.
I'm open to any methods, since I have ZERO experience - but I will say after reading what I have so far, I'm leaning Top Bar and natural.
Thanks in advance,
Glen
