From the Back Cover

Beekeeping is about management, control and learning to understand the honey bee. It can also become an extremely enjoyable and sociable pastime—visiting others' hives and picking up vital hints and tips is all part of the fun—and farming and eating honey that your own bees have produced is a pure delight.

Joanna Ryde brings her fresh but meticulous approach to all aspects of beekeeping, from the basic tools and equipment needed for setting up a hive to detailed advice on when to harvest honey, and honey-inspired recipes from delicious cakes to beauty products. This really is the definitive guide for anyone thinking of keeping bees.

Joanna Ryde's interest in beekeeping was sparked as a child watching the comings and goings of bees from an old hive that had long been left unattended in an uncle's garden. She currently keeps an apiary of four hives on her rural property in southern England.

About the Author

Joanna Ryde is a dedicated beekeeper with four years' experience. She currently operates four hives in her Hampshire, U.K. apiary, and sells her honey and home-made honey products locally.

Brilliant little book on beekeeping but also with some incredibly interesting information on bee's and their lives that everybody should learn, really makes you think. The only issue I have with this book is that it doesn't really go into any details about certain methods of obtaining particular bee products such as royal jelly. It describes how and why the bee's make royal jelly (to turn a regular larva into a queen, which is fascinating) and made me think well, royal jelly must be some kind of magic! So I went online to find if I could purchase it, which you can, however I didn't end up buying any because I found out basically the way it is made involves stabbing larva with pins to move them into manipulated gives to have the bee's turn them into queen's (by producing royal jelly) the jelly is then harvested and all the queen's destroyed in their larvae forms. It sounded pretty horrendous to me, so it would have been nice if this book had actually gone into enough detail as to explain things like that. Otherwise it has lots of good info for anybody interested in bee's.

I gave this book to a friend, for his birthday, and he reported back to me that it was a very informative read. He has just started bee-keeping and found the tips and information very useful and easy to understand.

Far too brief and lacking detail. Difficult to know who the target market would be.
