I am a fellow bee loving Virginian. Welcome.
Do you have any bee books that you love? Most of the books that I come back to are about how thinks are built or how to do things. I love a good story, but it is better for me if it is a true story. For some reason I prefer my fiction in the form of films.
I have a bunch of old books about how machine shops worked 100 years ago. They are interesting to look at.
I love Ross Conrad the best. I think i have to keep my copy of his book awhile longer. Do you want a book?
have you heard of this guy? this book recaps alot of the basics of beekeeping you already know, but his perspective on human "solutions" is worthwhile.
I would like to read both this an Conrad's book. So far my favorite is Les Crouder's. It is specific to Top Bar Hives, but he also gives you a good idea of what the bees need from the beekeeper regardless of what shape of box you use.
He is the man. Do you have discord?
