Just the right balance of knowledge and not too awe inspiring for the beginner who wants to manage a colony without problems.
Also a reference book to come back to when you need it.
Excellent value.

Yes, this book does tell you everything you need to know, and Mr de Bruyn is an acknowledged expert, but .... the book could do with being re-edited to make it more usable to the reader who often wants to know (for instance) 'what do I do NOW with a large group of bees making comb on the outside of my hive---help!'. A step-by-step approach that is more clearly instructional, rather than a genial discourse, is what's needed.
Hooper is the better book for this. 'Bees at the bottom of the garden' is a good, but less detailed, alternative.

This is my other Bible, not as reader freindly as Ted Hoopers Book, but a close second and well read.

Excellent book but the kindle version has some of the sentences muddled up which causes the paragraphs to not make sense.

Clive de Bruyn, Practical Beekeeping
This is an excellent introduction to beekeeping, marred only by two things: 1. annoying misprints and mistakes. A frog is not a reptile! Larva is the singular, larvae the plural. Read more
