Description
This guide, aimed at beginning beekeepers, and the only one to be endorsed by the BBKA, provides an authoritative text, along with clear photographs and illustrations. The book introduces the reader to beekeeping, including the workings of the colony, the structure of a hive, how to acquire bees and keep them healthy and what happens in each month in a beekeeping year. The new edition includes new step-by-step sequences to illustrate procedures such as containing a swarm, identifying the queen, using a smoker, cleaning a hive, and disease management.
