Great Start

My daughter has been saying she wanted to start beekeeping and I am glad I found this book. It is well written to make the process sound doable. It explains things well and made me less afraid to take on such a journey even though bees scare me.

Entry Level and very easy to understand!

The funny thing is that I used to have no interest in beekeeping, but as I’ve gotten older and learned more about how fascinating bees are and how beneficial honey can be, I’ve become really curious! This audiobook makes beekeeping sound so approachable, even for beginners. It walks you through everything from setting up your first hive to harvesting honey. Whether you’re like me, just want to learn this idea, or are looking to dive in and start, this is a great guide!

Comprehensive Guide to Beekeeping!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book on beginner Beekeeping. It provides detailed steps on the process of setting up your first hive, locating the most efficient and reliable equipment to use, and diagnosing issues with your bees. Chapter one, however, was my favorite. Learning about their biology and the roles of the different bees was very informative and I'll never see these little workers the same way again. The book encourages good stewardship as Beekeepers, knowing that healthy bee colonies mean a healthy environment for humankind. I've started mapping out the best location to place my first hive and make my own contribution to our planet.
