Hive Management: A Seasonal Guide for Beekeepers
from Storey Publishing, LLC
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:

A well organized, sensible and rather complete book on beekeeping. Another must reference book for the beekeeper, new or experienced.
Great companion to another book "the backyard beekeeper" by Kim Flottum. Together, these two books will more than satisfy the needs of hobbyist beekeepers.

While visiting the Butterfly Garden exhibit in Boston's Science Museum, we asked a person in charge which book he recommended for growing one's own butterfly garden (my son lives in Framingham, MA). The answer was Stokes, and he wrote it down for us. The museum does not sell it.
