Beekeeping - Book : The Beekeeper's Handbook-Diana Sammataro/Alphonse Avitabile
Beekeeper's Handbook (3rd Edition)
Hailed as the best how-to book, it offers several ways to do everything right.

Authors, Diana Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile have revised and expanded their clear and comprehensive guide to cover changes beekeeping. They discuss the crisis created by the parasitic bee mites.
In less than a decade, for example, Varroa mites have saturated the North American honeybee population with disastrous results, devastating both managed and wild populations.
This third edition newest of The Beekeeper's Handbooks, covers mite detection and control as well as the selection and testing of bees that may have some tolerance to mites.

For me personally, I started beekeeping in 1984 and found the original edition to be so valuable that I have since recommended this book to the hundreds of students who have started beekeeping from me. Some of the high points of this edition are:

Serves as a comprehensive well-illustrated introduction for beginners and a valuable reference for the experienced beekeeper.
Outlines options for each operation within beekeeping, listing advantages and disadvantages of each alternative.
Provides easy-to-follow directions and diagrams.
Includes glossary and updated bibliography suggesting more detailed information on the topics discussed.
Diana Sammataro is Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Entomology Extension Bee Laboratory of The Ohio State University.
Alphonse Avitabile is Emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of Connecticut, Waterbury.
