Beginner Beekeeping Frequently Asked Questions #23, Books about Honey Bees and more

In this beginner beekeeping discussion, Fred introduces 3 excellent newly available books about honey bees. Also the following questions are answered/discussed: 1) Will bees eat their eggs in certain situations? 2) Can you do a tutorial on how to become a registered beekeeper? Each State has their own requirements, this is the information for Pennsylvania: http://www.pastatebeekeepers.org/pdf/... 3) Should I rough up the interior surface of my beehives so the bees will put propolis on it? 4) Would it be practical to have empty hives set up to encourage closer swarm relocation or will the bees just do what they please? 5) Why is honey in the comb popular? Chunk Honey? 6) Do honey bees recognize people? Would bees be calm or more aggressive around strangers vs you? 7) What do people mean when they say "draw it out"? 8) Why are veil screens black? 9) Do bees re-use wax? Or do they discard it?
