What is it?
Most people have heard about the problems our bees are facing and about the steady decline in their numbers. More and more people are choosing to become beekeepers and have their own hives at home. Guide to Bees and Honey: The World’s Best Selling Guide to Bee Keeping, written by Ted Hooper, has just been updated and aims to be a guide for the beginner beekeeper as well as a reference book for those with more experience.
Who is testing it?
Steve, a beginner bee-keeper
In use
This is a detailed and comprehensive book probably aimed at an intermediate rather that absolute beginner. It is a 272 page book well illustrated with black and white photographs and drawings. First appearance is of a proper text book rather than an ‘idiots guide’. Though a book alone is no substitute for joining a club and getting hands on most bee keepers consult a number of sources and this is one of the better books I have seen.
