Beekeeping Made Simple
The instructions in this book are so clear and assured, it almost makes beekeeping look easy. But it is also so detailed that it makes any curious potential beekeeper think twice - in a good way.

Luckily, the book also presents steady advice on how best to handle almost any problem and plenty of tips to make an apiary thrive.
First Step or Antidote
If you've been thinking about getting a bee hive going and harvesting your own honey, Beekeeping: A Pratical Guide will push you in one direction or the other. You'll either find the information and wisdom here to feel ready to order gloves and frames and a smoker, or you'll realize it wasn't quite what you thought it might be and find another way to make or forage your own food.
