I really like the "essentials" books by Larry Connor too, and must also confess to having a soft spot for another American author, Kim Flottum. His recent Better Beekeeping is good because it is up to date and not aimed at the very beginner. Talks quite a lot about the economics of growing from hobbyist to something bigger.

I have become quite good at American terminology and taking what is relevant to the UK and ignoring some other stuff. Most of it is relevant I think.

I also like the American Bee Journal (on kindle) - don't know why but I prefer it to the uk ones.

Agree with so much of this post..... do you get Kim Flottum's internet newsletter 'Catch the Buzz'?

An excellent source of bite-sized information to follow up at our leisure.

I could start an entire thread just on internet 'bee' newsletters written/edited by well informed writers and researchers.
