A "must read" for beginner beekeepers,
By Susan Elliott (NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: First Lessons in Beekeeping (Paperback)
Not too sexy, but has all the right stuff. This book is a timeless guide to modern-day beekeeping. The pictures are a little dated, and black-white, but the information is sound and professionally written. This book left me feeling well educated and confident. And at this price, it's a deal!

All you need to know.,

This review is from: First lessons in beekeeping
From what kind of hives, how to care for the bees, how to select them, gather the honey and winter them - this book has everything you will ever need to know. I happen to have the 8th edition, 1930, and is as detailed as the newer editions.
