RE: Beekeeping
Mary, I keep bees, they are great. Did you do your course with a local association? It's great to be involved with an association in the beginning, lots of a advice, equipment to borrow and maybe even free or cheap bees.

Regarding books, the BBKA recently updated their recommended reading list for the modules:

I can personally recommend the Haynes Bee Manual (2011) for great illustrations, Hooper's Guide to Bees and Honey (5th. edition) (2010) - the classic text.

There's also fantastic free and on-line resources at BeeBase: https://secure.fera.defra.gov.uk/beebase...pageid=167 and the Welsh BBKA: http://www.wbka.com/infostation.html
