Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: Great book for the 2nd year beekeeper This book has good information on how to take good care of your hives during the winter and early spring. This is not a beginners book. This book goes one step past the beginners books to help you manage strong & healthy hives through all of the seasons. This book answered most of my questions that the beginners books did not. This book Should be read during the fall of your first year beekeeping so you can be knowledgeable & prepared for the winter & spring. I recommend this book for any one in their first couple years of beekeeping. Hive Management Hive Management is very informative. Although my grandmother kept bees there was much to learn in this day and age. This book filled the holes in my knowledge of keeping bees and how to manage hives to get the best out come for myself and the bees. Invaluable book for any one interested in keeping bees. Wise man. Mr. Bonney writes well about a topic of which he has a great deal of pratical experience. He is also aware of how much we all have still to learn about the honeybee. Money well spent! An excellent source for the beginner As the first bee book out of the Amazon box which I'd ordered, I read this book from cover to cover in one sitting. Richard Bonney's knowledge, experience and dry humour make it an engaging read. Richard has some strong opinions on beekeeping and I don't believe that any novice beekeeper could go far wrong (especially those in the N.E. of the United States) by following his advice. Having said that, Richard himself makes it plain that what works for one beekeeper may not necessarily work for his immediate neighbour and always endeavors to present alternative methods for given tasks, even though he may not actually recommend using them. The main strengths of this book though, are Richard's obvious experience and his enthusiasm for his bees. Owning this book is like having a mentor by your side when you visit your hives and will certainly increase your confidence and comfort levels if you happen to be a beginning beekeeper and probably add to your knowledge-base of bee handling procedures, even if you're an "old hand". A good book on beekeeping! This book gives a good overview on management of the hive, how the bees react, and the seasons that effect them (and you) - I did get some good material from the book, and Bonney has researched the subject very well. Good to have on your desk. I also found that a good match to this book is The Complete Book of Beekeeping, The Complete Book Of Beekeeping. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
