I bought this book as I inherited a hive and wanted to keep the tradition alive. It was a great place to start, giving not only sound, practical advice but also an interesting overview of the history of bee keeping. It linked in with the bee keeping associations around the country and the recipes at the back were not only lovely but gave me some great ideas for when my harvest is ready! A great book with lovely photographs and excellent advice for first time bee keepers.

This is a fantastic book; so much so I read it from cover to cover in one sitting!

Each chapter is packed with ideas and recipes to bring a little self sufficiency into your life. With delicious jams to teas and even household cleaning and toiletries recipes you'll find a great selection of every day ideas.
This book is inspiring and would make a lovely gift for an eco conscious friend. I can see mine is going to become a well ... Read More:

I have never cured before and I was looking for an introduction to the subject. This book fits the bill, it is easy to read and helps you understand the basic principles involved. My aim is to start smoking but have learned, I think, that I have to master curing first. The only criticism that I have is the value for money aspect when it first arrives, its not a weighty volume and I at first felt I was being taken for a ride. BUT NO it is instructive, appears to cover all that is required to begin curing and debunks the mystique. It has certainly started me on my way.

A monumental and soundly researched work which brings into evidence the wealth and range of architecture in one of the UK's most attractive big industrial cities. Newcastle is a surprising discovery for those who don't know it.
