Average Customer Rating:

As complete as one can get!	Customer Rating:
The book is as complete as one can expect-sometimes complicated-very involved-sometimes difficult for the beginner-is it possible to have or give too much detail?

The Beekeeper's Handbook	Customer Rating:
Excellent reference material written for all levels. Would recommend to anyone thinking about getting started in this facinating "hobby".

Accessible bee-keeping	Customer Rating:
It may be a matter of personal taste but this is the first book on this topic which gives me a feeling of being able to access bee-keeping. It seems to strip away the lore and mystery which have always accompanied bee-keeping. For the record I have yet execute the plan to acquire bees for honey. At least this books makes me feel more like it is something I can do.

A good book for information and easy to understand	Customer Rating:
This book gives you all the pratical information you need and also has some good artwork and pictures, most books show images that are hard to see, but this one has nice large images

Good book	Customer Rating:
