5.0 out of 5 stars An abseloutly fabulous book!, 2 May 1999
By A Customer
I have read many beekeeping books, and out of all of them, this is the one I would reccommend. It has very detailed pictures and instructions and smoothy guided me through having a successful hive! The author obiously knows bees very well and has a lot of experience with them. He also shares the "do's and don'ts" of beekeeping.

By A Customer
I lost this book (maybe a jealous competitor took it), so I bought another.
