First Lessons in Beekeeping introduces the prospective beekeeper to the basics of beekeeping through easy-to-understand text and numerous color photos on honey bee biology, beekeeping equipment, management, honey production and processing, as well as disease diagnosis and treatment. In the preface to this book, author Keith Delaplane says of his first book on beekeeping, "Its pages opened to me a golden world of honey bees and beekeeping and guided my stumbling steps that first spring season. My story is but one of thousands who have passed through the door opened by Dadant's little book."

Superb Introduction to Beekeeping,

This review is from: First Lessons in Beekeeping (Paperback)
A terrific introduction to beekeeping for beginners. I have referred back to it countless times during my first two years of keeping honeybees. Dr. Delaplane's writing style is concise and to the point, and there is not a wasted word in the book. I believe that Dr. Delaplane is also a researcher investigating the cause or causes of Colony Collapse Disorder, and I certainly wish him success with that undertaking.

Covers the basics of beekeeping in brief, but elegant detail. I recommend it for introduction to beekeeping classes. I wish Amazon would stock more copies. It is available directly from Dadant, the publisher.
