Also, I'm in suburbia Silver Spring. _The Beekeeper's Handbook_ Samataro and Avitable. Out of print, although a new edition is due out in 1995. Your Library should have it. Call your State Apiarst, Bart Smith, for recommendations on who to meet with in your area for bee purchases and equipment. Make sure any bees you buy are inspected. Otherwise, caveat emptor! Bart or his crew will handle any inspection for you. Please do not hesitate to ask questions!
