    Great gift

    I bought this as a gift for a friend who decided to get into bee keeping this year. I researched online about the best books for beginning beekeepers and this is one that came up. So far my friend has commented that he finds it very interesting and helpful, he seems most pleased with it.

  • Learn great things!

    Wide range of information you didn't know you needed to know! As with most "Dummies" books, you can pick it up and start reading about anywhere and put it down having learned great things.

  • Worth it.

    I am a newbee at Beekeeping. This book is well worth the money. The only draw back that I've notice is that it should have thumb tabs or binder markings for the beginning of each chapter.
