"Beekeeping basics: Keeping honey bees is a fascinating and profitable pastime that can be enjoyed in several ways.

What bees need:
Honey bees need shelter, nectar, pollen, propolis, and water.
• Shelter In nature, the honey bee uses a number of natural cavities to build their brood nest. The term "Bee Tree" was once common. It referred to a tree that had a colony/swarm of bees living in it. The reason we can keep bees is because honey bees will adapt to man made hives for shelter.
• Nectar Bees can't make honey without nectar nectar is the liquid sugary substance produced by flowers. Hundred of plants produce nectar but they are not all major sources of honey. Often we refer to honey as "wild flower honey". What that means is that the honey produced by the bees comes from a number of nectar sources. However, bees do produce crops of honey from certain major nectar sources and these are easily identified by taste and color examples include: buckwheat, clover, fireweed, goldenrod, locust, tulip popular, tupelo, sage, sourwood, star thistle just to mention a few.
2. The next title is a whopping 219 page ebook entitled "Guide to Bees and Honey" If the first book was detailed I can only describethis book as extremely detailed, goes into bee anatomy with many photos and illustrations. Goes into great detail about how to treat bees so as not to get stung and well just every aspect of beekeeping, even though this information seems complex, the writer has a wonderful conversational way of cummunicating to make the loads of information go down much easier.Still, I have to take my hat off to anyone who wants to really do this, I would not have the courage
3. Ok now book 3 which is not really a book but a very complete catalog of beekeeping equipment from a company called Mannlakeltd. Now I am not knowledgeable about beekeeping. But as I look through this catalog I cannot imagine that any beekeeping tool or supply is not in here. Even down to special paint for the boxes you keep the bees in. If you are serious about beekeeping you can find what you need here.
