Customer Reviews

Not quite enough
This book is fine for a young school kid for learning simple basics about beekeeping. But for anyone who really wants to learn about beekeeping this book isn't for you. The author used leaf hives, not the more common box hives, and anyone who is a first-time beekeeper would find leaf hives difficult to construct and use.

A poor attempt at a beekeeping book
What a title "Beekeeping: A Practical Guide for the Novice Beekeeper Buying Bees, Management, Rearing, Honey Production". Too bad that the title was almost half the length of the book. This book has a very european look and feel to the instructions and hive structures mentioned. I would not recommend this book to anyone interested in beekeeping with the one exception of, if you are writing a book on beekeeping use it as a guide on how not to write one.

Outstanding photography and graphics, good price
This little book is my "giveaway" to people interested in getting started in bees. It's not a complete guide by any means, but gives someone interested a basic overview. It has outstanding photos and graphics on the beekeeper's year. Has a European slant many may not like, but I found quite interesting. Great price for size and content.
