5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Beekeeping Book, 25 Aug 2002

By	Tellboy (Manchester) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very nearly the Best Bee Keeping Book, 4 Aug 2008

By	Andrew T. Smith (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr de Bruyn is a better beekeeper than writer, 9 Nov 2008

By	Stephen Summers (England, UK.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
