# 011 : Free Beekeeping Book of the Month - or - Beekeeping Books For Cheapies!

What's the best kind of book? (dramatic pause) A free book!!!


I've been letting my bees settle in. I am not disturbing them. Aside from adding a couple pollen patties and some sugar syrup I haven't opened the lid of the hive. I'm doing this in the hopes that it will have them believe that only good things happen when the hive is opened. That said it's been very slow and peaceful on bee hive front.

This week I'm adding a weekly section called "A Beekeeping Book For Cheep Skates!" I'm aware that I misspelled 'cheap' but the letter 'e' was on sale this week so I picked up a bunch for a fraction of the price of an 'a'.

Here is the first of many free beekeeping books I hope to share thanks to Google Books and expired copyrights : I'm starting with one of the best free books you will find on the internets! ENJOY!!!

    Well Kiddoggy, you are right on the money with that observation. The bees are hoppin ... by hoppin I mean flyin all over the place. The bees seem to really like temps in the low eighties. They will gather nectar and pollen all day long when the temps are right. with action like this, they will done drawing comb before the middle of the month!
