Hive Management
Overall, this book didn't work for me. Mr. Bonney seems to have very black and white views on beekeeping that differ drastically from my own. His geography of the United States acknowledges New England, north of New England, and south of New England. It appears to have escaped his attention that the continental U.S. goes west for about 3000 miles.
This book is written in a style that appears to be appropriate for the hobbyist, yet his insistence that the hive be inspected every five days does not work with the average hobby beekeepers schedule. (not to mention creating disruption and distress in hives.)
Mr. Bonney dedicates a chapter to comb honey production, whines endlessly how there isn't a good selection on the market, and then insists that new and hobby beekeepers can not make good comb honey. Really!
Finally, talk of clipping the wings of the queen bee absolutely turn my stomach. I'd rather my bees swarmed any day than mutilate the creatures that are giving such golden gifts.
