Reviews"Many introductory works on beekeeping discuss some of the issues that may surface with a new hive, but this single volume covers the 100 most general beekeeping problems and their solutions. Tew, an entomologist and consulting professor at Auburn University in Alabama, bee blogger (onetew.com), and author ( Wisdom for Beekeepers ), has worked with bees for almost 40 years and draws from both personal and professional experience. Chapters are divided into basic areas such as equipment, queen production, pest control, and producing honey. Within each section, issues are laid out as questions in lay terms, such as "I don't know where to get my first bees," "Wasps are attacking the bees," and "Honey has granulated in the comb." The author accompanies each problem with a cause and solution; full-color photographs and a glossary provide additional information. VERDICT Newer beekeepers looking for a quick reference guide will find that this book covers most common problems. Experienced beekeepers may want more specific works." - Library Journal

SynopsisAn illustrated guide to 100 common problems beekeepers are sure to face, all spelled out in clear, simple terms. Learn the underlying issues and how to solve them., Author, experienced beekeeper, and apiary expect James E. Tew explains 100 common problems faced by beekeepers, clearly spelling out their underlying causes and how to solve all of them. Beekeeping requires understanding, commitment, and attention to detail. Laying the groundwork for a successful hive is essential, and demands a keen appreciation of critical areas like hive management, breed choice, and health requirements. Bees often disguise problems, though, making recognizing trouble in the crucial, initial stages that much more difficult. Whether you're a newcomer or an old hand, The Beekeeper's Problem Solver provides the information you need to nip problems in the bud, or avoid them in the first place. With color photography throughout and a glossary of terms at the back, each beekeeping problem is tackled in depth, covering a wide range of practical tips and useful insights. The problems are conveniently organized into the following categories: Beekeeping Basics - My new bees arrived during a cool, rainy period. ... Beekeeping Equipment - The beehive smoker will not stay lit. ... Biology and Behavior of the Colony - There are many dead drones at the hive entrance. ... Managing and Manipulating Hives - The brood nest has been built across multiple boxes. ... Queen Production and Maintenance - The queen is not a good egg producer. ... Diseases and Pests of Honey Bees - Varroa mites have overrun the colony. ... Pollen and Pollination - Too few bees are pollinating the target crop. ... Producing and Processing Honey - The honey filter keeps getting clogged. ... Beeswax, Propolis, and Specialty Issues - Propolis is difficult to gather and process. ...
