  • A lot of information

    If you are thinking about getting bees, have bees, or just want to know about them, this book is for you. It has a lot of information for a wide range of readers. I have bees and I always have questions about why this or that. So far I have been able to get all my answers from this book. The author covers many ways to do things and then gives his preference. I really enjoy this book.

  • Great information, easy to understand, and entertaining to read

    I'm a first time beekeeper. I have taken classes and I have reference materials. This book is by far the best resource. I would definitely recommend classes but when it comes to books I'd say choose this one. It is easy to find the information you need, the information is spot on, and it's even entertaining to read! On the news one night they showed a police officer who is a beekeeper vacuuming up a swarm that had formed in a public place. No hat, no veil, no gloves, no suit, no smoker, no problem with bees being aggressive and stinging. So a couple of days later I tried just checking my hives for a few minutes without using the smoker. They hadn't been too bad when I checked them previous times with the smoker going. Guess what? I have have never seen such an angry bunch of bees! I have a one piece bee suit and one managed to get inside my hood. I got stung on my ankle (that one became infected and I had to be prescribed antibiotics 10 days later). They followed me to the house, that's never happened before or since. Four hours after that check they were still willing to come up to the house to sting (they chased my husband who had not been present for the morning check, and when I went out moments later I got stung three times on the back of my left shoulder). That too had never happened before, nor since, while using the smoker. I think it was 2 days later that I received this book and read the writer's comment about how not using a smoker would be a mistake you'd only make once. I could agree with the him whole-heartedly! He gives very good instruction on how to use the smoker too. I have no idea how that cop did what he did, it must be some kind of magic LOL. When I wondered if my bees were thinking of swarming this book explained what bearding in hot weather was. I am so glad I bought this, and I would recommend it to anyone who is starting out and the best book to have on hand for answers to questions.

  • My Latest Project To Keep Busy

    I’m still reading and learning at this time. I’m planning to buy a hive and equipment to be ready for next year. I think it’s too late in the season to try and purchase the bees and queen. I don’t want to rush things. My summer job in early 60’s was working for T. W. Burleson’s Honey extracting the honey.
