5.0 out of 5 stars Best Bee Books, 14 Nov 2008
By J. H. Wells (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have looked at many bee books and have a nummber in my collection. This book is great for a person new to beekeeping and enables the newcomer to progress through the various phases, from geting the first nuc to gathering the first honey.I like the way it takes you through year 1,2 3 and beyond. I got through my first year of beekeeping with this book and studious study of the DEFRA leaflets on veroa control
