Excellent Forum to get answers for your questions, and a VERY good group of people! The combined experience of the beekeepers on this web Forum have to span hundreds of years.
Anywhere you go on the internet there will be idiots, so sift internet information through a fine filter before taking it as gospel. MOST of the folks at WWB are GOOD well experienced beekeepers who will not steer you wrong.

An Excellent site for beginning beekeepers with multiple vids to choose from. Assembling a frame, to evaluating a queens performance. MOST questions can be answered by the videos posted her by John Grafton & Jim Tew. Please dont overlook this site!
Don has some REALLY good advice to share from his years of keeping bees and teaching new Beekeepers the ins and outs of Beekeeping. He is one of those good folks that you like to meet in your travels. Weather you are watching his You Tube vids , Donating to his site to help keep it going or buying his equipment You won't go wrong! Don replied to my request to link his site only a few hours after I sent him the request. Don frequents the chat on World Wide Beekeeping forums to answer questions, proving the theory that most beekeepers are indeed good people. Go to YouTube and do a search for The Fat Bee Man. Join the forum and watch the chat box for him to stop by!
Brushy Mountain bee farm has some excellent equipment, and they offer videos under their Bee Informed button at the top of the page that is of great value to new beekeepers as well as many that have been keeping bees for many years. Check out their videos and look through the products they have for sale!
I have found, that if you are hard of hearing and prefer to use EMail, that you will get a back seat on the priority list from Brushy Mountain. If you can talk comfortably on the phone they are top notch. They also offer free shipping on orders over 150 dollars.

Melvin Disselkoen is one of those people you NEED to pay attention to. Send him an Email with questions, he ANSWERS them! His site has a LOT of good information with both reading and Video's. OTS queen rearing is an excellent method for Apiaries that don't need 200 Queens a year. I have tried it, and it works!
Rob has a great site with GOOD information. Links on his page to information on swarm traps as well as the Bee Vac he designed. For the price, you can't put a vac together that works as well, and his is design is WELL proven. If the one I built dies I will be ordering one of his.
A good PDF from Penn State about beekeeping basics with good information. You can download and or print the PDF to read later or take with you.
Watching JP remove bees from various locations is entertaining as well as educational. I have never met him in person, but if I ever head south I intend to hunt him down.

They sell vaporizors! The Varrocleaner is $125.00 and the Varrox Vaporizor is $165.00 I can attest to the quality of the Varrox Vaporizor. It works VERY nicely. Good people to deal with! In addition, if you go to their information page, they have a LOT of good reading about the use of OA, in liquiod and vapor form. Excellent site!

Some good information on Honey labeling and what you should be looking for in local honey, not to mention that you can get your labels for your own honey, as well as guidlines for labeling it! Nice site!
Excellent videos on several topics related to beekeeping. From hive locations to requeening, and protective clothing to Bee Beards! Seriously!!
Have a good informative site you think should be linked here? Send me a mail and let me know!
I am waiting permissions for new links, as those permissions come in I will put the links up, and the links that I am refused I will also post. I won't post a link, just the name of the site so you know enough to stay away. As posted above, if the folks that take care of customers are too busy to reply, then they are apparently too busy and don't need my Business, or they just don't care, which also means they don't need my business.
While it is not illegal to post a link, I prefer to have permission. Asking is the right thing to do.
At this point. Mann Lake is the only place that has completely ignored every email I have sent them. At one time, they were the go to place with free shipping on orders over 100 dollars. With their refusal to acknowledge my mails, I now order from Brushy Mountain. They offer free shipping on orders over 150 dollars.
