 This Cd has been sold since 2003 and been thru an number of revisions.  The current edition was revised completely in 2008.  It is sold by a number of bee suppliers and is available from the author, Dana Stahlman.

This cd which has sold for $24.99 in the past on this web site is now reduced to $20.00 including shipping.  If you wish priority mail and delivery confirmation, the cost will be $25.00.  It was designed to be a complete beekeeping course which covers beginning, intermediate, and advanced beekeeping.  But it is much more than that:  It includes three complete classic beekeeping books: 40 Years Among the Bees by C.C. Miller, Better Queens by Jay Smith, and A Critical Edition of the Feminine Monarchie by Charles Butler with comments by Dana Stahlman.

Material on the cd such as the books and lessons can be printed on your own printer -- I must warn you that it will take a lot of paper and ink.

It includes slide shows on a number of beekeeping topics such as:

Getting started #1 Managing bees #4 Fall Management #7 Management of Nucs
The bee's world #2 Spring Management  #5 Diseases of the honey bee  
Managing bees #3 Summer Management#6 Hobby Queen Production

It includes a main menu which accesses many of the features on the cd:
