      Excellent book for beginners and beyond, written by a well-respected Devon beekeeper in collaboration with a Connecticut hobbyist beekeeper. Lots of black and white illustrations and well laid out.
    • 5/5
      No joke, this is an excellent resource for beekeepers. Simple, easy to read and great pictures.
