A practical book

From a beginners standpoint this is an excellent book. This book is packed full of information and an excellent reference. This title gives you the principles you have to know to start seriously thinking about beekeeping. Besides this book I'll recomend you this one: The Complete Book Of Beekeeping

a practitionor of the art, with alot of experience.

I have not read this book, but for the uninformed, the Dadent and Sons company, has been selling products-including stock for the hives, and queen bees, for a very long time. I contacted them in the early 70's. their catalog was very informative. I don't know which dadent he is, but I would not easily doubt whatever is in this book.

Dang good bee book

Great beginning book for those new to the hobby and a grand refresher for those a little more experienced. Fine work.

All you need to know.

From what kind of hives, how to care for the bees, how to select them, gather the honey and winter them - this book has everything you will ever need to know. I happen to have the 8th edition, 1930, and is as detailed as the newer editions.

A "must read" for beginner beekeepers

Not too sexy, but has all the right stuff. This book is a timeless guide to modern-day beekeeping. The pictures are a little dated, and black-white, but the information is sound and professionally written. This book left me feeling well educated and confident. And at this price, it's a deal!
