5.0 out of 5 stars THE BOOK! This is the book that Rutger's uses in it's class, October 8, 1998

By A Customer

I first used this book in 1979, it has been a companion ever since. I wear mine to shreads and must replace it every couple of years. I learned everything I neeeded to get started in bee keeping and taught me something new with every new release. To manage hives for honey production, polination or queen rearing, this book is the authority. To work in your hive, or apiary without it,is like driving your car with a blindfold on.

For the seasoned or beginning beekeeper, this tome has everything you might want to know. More than complete, surprisingly easy to navigate, HIVE AND THE HONEY BEE is the bee all and end all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have book for serious beekeepers., March 9, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Nashville, Tennessee) - See all my reviews

Much of this book is over the head of the typical hobbyist (myself included) but it is indispensable as a reference book. Articles on honeybee behavior are particularly helpful. If you have an old edition of the book, consider picking up another copy, there have been many revisions and additions.
