This is a really great blog about bees! Some awesome photos of the lifecycles and larvae too.

I loved these videos on swarming, hive splitting and queen cells. They were very helpful.

I am also loving this book and his philosophy to beekeeping. I learned a few things and have refered back to it quite a bit this week.
Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approaches to Modern Apiculture, 2nd Edition Available on Amazon
And these websites were helpful in figuring out what to do for swarming.
