The Honey Bee Suite - Rusty has so much great information, that for the most part, pertains to keeping bees here in Eastern Washington.
Girl Next Door Honey - I like her take on beekeeping, and often reference her blog when I'm curious about new ideas etc.
Inland Empire Beekeeping Association Videos - As far as I know, these are the only local videos available, the beekeeping style is very traditional, but there is some good information to be had.
Horizontal Hives - Along with some Facebook Groups, this is what I've based my Hive Design on.
BeeSpaceX - I'm using these baffles on my hives to make construction and management a ton easier, I've even been making my own to experiment with more affordable, green ways, to accomplish the same function.
