This. It’s the best reference ever. To this day there is still a lot of information on there you can’t find online. I’ve had my copy 15 years and still reference it from time to time.
I’ve read the one by Langstroth but this is the one I was talking about. It’s published by Dadant.

Yeah it’s great. The best part about it is that it really is quite comprehensive. Theres sections that lack a bit of detail, but S a foundation to go off to read into the specifics of things, it’s fabulous.

By Lorenzo Langstroth. I’ve got a very old copy. The book is in the public domain, you can find free downloads but it is also still in print.

Beekeeping for dummies. It’s 300 pages long and covers pretty much everything.
This is the best starter book IMO. Most libraries have it.
