This review is from: The New Starting Right With Bees: A Beginner's Handbook on Beekeeping (Paperback)

If you need a book to help you begin to keep bees, this is it. I am a certified beekeeping instructor and use this book in every class that I teach. It gives you all the basics that you need to sucessfully start your own hive of bees. Care must be used when applying the information found in the book because every region of the U.S. is different. But with a little assistance, from a local association, you will be able to apply the knowledge gained and be rewarded with a fine crop of honey. The book goes over all aspects of beekeeping, from choosing the bees and where to get them, to what to do with your excess honey. Diseases and pests of the honey bees are also touched on, but make sure you contact a local beekeeper to get the most current information for your area. Overall, this is a great book and should be part of every beekeepers library.
