reviewed Keeping Bees And Making Honey on March 07, 2013 Keeping Bees And Making Honey
About 5 months ago I got 2 bee hives (now I have 3). Since then I've read a pile of books about beekeeping and I have to say this one is one of the best. It's practical but with plenty of detail and, though written primarily from a UK standpoint, can be applied by beekeepers wherever they are.
The recipe section is very small and the selection is are only so-so (okay, who doesn't want to eat figs with Gorgonzola cheese and honey) but I just might give that mead recipe a go!
A great book for anyone considering keeping bees, and if you aren't considering it, the author may convince you to give 'em a go anyway.
