Product Description
Bee keeping isn't just for the country dweller--bees can be kept in any situation from the simple balcony to the garden to acres of land. This comprehensive and attractive lifestyle guide to bee keeping takes readers from finding their bees to getting them home, housing them, collecting honey and using their produce. The book includes a detailed look at the history of bees and bee-keeping, and an extensive introduction to help readers to fully understand bees and keep them happy.

About the Author
Alison Benjamin is a Guardian journalist. She writes on environmental issues and social affairs and currently edits The Guardian’s environment website. Brian McCallum is a designer, builder and yachtsman. Alison and Brian – who now studies apiculture – have many hives in different locations across London. Their blog, www.urbanbees.co.uk provides a fascinating insight into beekeeping in the city.

5.0 out of 5 stars don't read this book if you don't want to get in to beekeeping, May 22, 2009
By rj (Western washington) - See all my reviews
I hate this book it so fare has been my down fall of falling in love with beekeeping. This book has cost me over a few hundred dollars on hives bees and the such. this book got me hooked on beekeeping now I am catching swarms. enjoying making my own hives putting frames and foundation togeather, dreaming about harvesting the honey and enjoying the bees in my back yard. So if you want to advoid spending money on bees having them mailed to your home housing them in your house while you wait for the weather to clear and having your children enjoy being out doors and watch for hours bees work. Then please do not buy this book but if you do welcome to a great hobbie
