  • Bee or not 2 bee

    Quite a good book on bee keeping with some very odd exceptions. Take gloves , they have pictures of people with no gloves including beginners then still recommend using leather with rubber as a kinda alternative. Not exactly best practice. Lots of bits trying to be kind to everyone but thus loosing focus on what is best practice in the UK . Photos especially the incredibly important ones on what you should expect to find in the comb and diseases are not very good to near rubish . Definitely a book as a companion but often only quick look up sending you to look online for more up to date information .

  • It’s very good, but a little pricey

    It’s the bees knees. Photography is superb, the content easy to read and understand. It’s recommended by your local bee keepers associations. But it’s a bit pricey at £23.

  • Thorough, instructive.

    Great guide for the beginner beekeeper. I had looked around for recommendations for a general guide and this was recommended by several bee associations and others. It is clear in its advice with good photos.
