There
are many sources of literature available, the biggest problem is
seperating peoples' opinion from actual fact. If you are reading
something that just doesn't seem right, it probably isn't. Also you
could ask an experienced beekeeper from your local beekeeping club (
there is no substitute for experience ). Anyway, a good free source of
information is your local library. Over the years a lot of books have
been written on beekeeping. Try to read the most recent books you can
find, modern beekeeping practices are changing often. Another good
source of free material you can get is from another beekeeper,
especially if you manage to aquire a mentor from your local club.
Second hand books are a cheap alternative but are more difficult to
come by. Trademe often has a
few books on beekeeping, other than that you could try a second hand
book store. You can buy new, up to date, beekeeping books from NBA and Ecroyds, other than that try your local book store.
