5.0 out of 5 stars A "must read" for beginner beekeepers, February 21, 2001
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know., June 24, 2005
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.
