Here are some of my favorite beekeeping web sites:
For beginning beekeepers, I recommend: Beekeeping
for Kentuckians from the Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service (even if you don't
live in Kentucky!).
Alberta Beekeeping, Pollination, Honey, Bees &
Art -- Allen Dick's Canadian site offers well-organized information, pictures and links about commercial beekeeping methods, equipment, pollination, honey,
and bees.
Barry
Birkey's BeeSource Site -- Construction plans for bee hives, a solar
wax melter,
honey heater and more.
New Zealand
Beekeeping -- Nick Wallingford's nice site on New Zealand beekeeping. Also
has a page for sign-up to BEE-L, a beekeeping email listserv.
P-O's Swedish
Beekeeping -- A look at P-O's beekeeping operation. Plenty of good ideas
and photos!
Texas A&M
University's Africanized Bee Site -- A good resource on africanized bees
from TAMU's Agriculture Program.
National Honey Board
-- Great honey recipes, honey & bee facts, and kid's page.
Top
Bar Hive Beekeeping
-- James Satterfield's site, with photos, plans and links.
My favorite beekeeping equipment supply companies are Brushy Mountain Bee Farm and Mann Lake Limited. Both offer interesting free
catalogs, and have provided me with good service in the past. Betterbee
is another reputable supplier.
These general beekeeping sites offer more
extensive coverage of beekeeping, with plenty of links:
BeeHoo -
A worldwide beekeeping directory
Apiservices - Virtual beekeeping

interested countries meet their needs for trained men and women.

emerging world markets, fostering market-oriented, economically viable
enterprises where none or few existed before.
