The New Starting Right with Bees

Book excerpt: "This book is the culmination of nearly 40 years work by the Editors and staff of Gleaning In Bee Culture. It's primary intent is as a learning tool for beginning beekeepers, but it is an exceptional source of information for anyone interested in the fascinating world of the honey bee. This book covers every aspect of introductory beekeeping and honey bee biology -- including seasonal management, equipment used, harvesting and marketing hive products, honey bee communication and beekeeping social skills. Beekeeping can become a hobby, a part-time or full-time occupation, but whatever your eventual involvement, this book will make beekeeping easier -- since you are "Starting right with bees"."--Page iii
