I've seen 2 new awesome resources pop up in the comments this week (I haven't added them to the list yet my personal life is chaos right now). I'd love to know if you guys have come across any other books, websites, videos etc that you find very useful and informative to add to the list.

Here is the current list of resources.

I'd love to get as many resources as possible outside the US.

Hope they help. University of Minnesota has a big Bee lab so they have great resources
