Rating: - A fantastic guide to keeping bees
This book is an excellent book which takes beekeeping through all the stages. It have been a great reference for me during my first 2 years and kept my bees fit and healthy. Starts with the history through to aquiring bees, basic equipment, care, management, swarm control, queen marking everything really and well written to boot!

There are many good books on beekeeping but for the complete beginner there's nothing to beat this book. It does not assume prior knowledge and explains everything clearly. I particularly liked the illustrated detail such as 'how to read a comb'. In fact the book is so well illustrated and easy to read that it's the one I recommend to my students.
