| This is a list of books that our local club had. We gave some to the library and I am housesitting the rest. Some are outdated, others may have a slant and some of them may have mistakes, but all are good reading if you are serious about beekeeping. This is a link to NOPBA, our local bee club that meets every second SUNDAY in Port Angeles, WA. We also used to have a great newsletter but it and the library were rarely accessed. So sad. |
 Out of date, but a wonderful read. I learned so much from them. |
