I got a video from www.beeworks.com (http://www.beeworks.com) that was very helpful, but you also need to buy a good book. I've read a couple and I'm still trying to understand all of the principles in some of the methods.

Hi Chris,
Contemporary queenrearing by Laidlaw is a good book and one of the better ones. Will post a few of my favorite ones tommorrow for you.

Snelgrove is excellent. I haven't read Jay Smith's book but many people recommend it.

If you don't already know it, go to
www.abebooks.com (http://www.abebooks.com)
This is a website used by Mom & Pop's bookstores (US, UK, Australia primarily) and is a GREAT source for used (cheap) books.
You will need to sharpen your "searching" skills to get valid results. Good luck, I'll look forward to receiving your commissions...;-0 (kidding).

I just bought one through ABEBooks mentioned above. It's used and quite expensive. There were quite a few copies for sale. I think the one I got is in the UK.

Hi,
Its out of print. But I got my copy from barnes & nobles used and rare books section on there web page. There isn't always a copy available but they turn up all the time so if there isn't one today just keep checking(they have 100's and 100's of beekeeping books). Jay Smith's book is good too and if you can get a copy get it as its much harder to find.
