NEKBA Library Update by Marlene Pantos December 27, 2015 (pending update Feb2019)
Thank you for your interest in membership to the Northeastern Kansas Beekeepers’ Association. Welcome aboard! One of our greatest assets besides our members is our library of books and videos related to bees and beekeeping. These can be checked out for free at our regular monthly meetings for a monthly term.
Your library contains books of a wide variety of subjects of interest to beginning beekeepers as well as those of you who’ve kept bees for many years. One such title is The Beekeeper’s Bible. This thick reference book covers many subjects, including beekeeping history, understanding the honeybee, practical beekeeping, honey and bee products, and recipes and home crafts. There are also many color photos, with basic instructions such as lighting your smoker and placing your hives. Recipes include such enticing titles as Curried Honey Sweet Potato Soup (p. 308) and Spiced Honey Hummus (p. 313). Find out about bee venom therapy, royal jelly, pollen and propolis. This book is great as a general reference for beginners and experts alike.
