Customer Rating: 

From a beginners standpoint this is an excellent book. This book is packed full of information and an excellent reference. This title gives you the principles you have to know to start seriously thinking about beekeeping.

Besides this book I'll recomend you this one:
The Complete Book Of Beekeeping

Customer Rating: 

I found the book to be a good start for an absolute beginner like me. However, I live in the Caribbean, and the book is geared more to beekeeping in the US. I completely skipped the chapters on wintering and post-wintering your bees. We also have completely different flora.

Customer Rating: 

I have not read this book, but for the uninformed, the Dadent and Sons company, has been selling products-including stock for the hives, and queen bees, for a very long time. I contacted them in the early 70's. their catalog was very informative.

I don't know which dadent he is, but I would not easily doubt whatever is in this book.

Customer Rating: 

Great beginning book for those new to the hobby and a grand refresher for those a little more experienced. Fine work.

From what kind of hives, how to care for the bees, how to select them, gather the honey and winter them - this book has everything you will ever need to know. I happen to have the 8th edition, 1930, and is as detailed as the newer editions.
