Storey’s Guide to Keeping Honey Bees

SKU: OL-62550

Storey’s Guide to Keeping Honey Bees, Honey Production, Pollination, Bee Health provides everything you need to know about keeping honey bees. With the bee population declining in North America, many farmers, with both large and small operations, have found that keeping their own bees makes much more sense than hoping for pollination or “renting” the services of a professional. This guide, co-authored by Dr. Malcom T. Sanford and the late Richard E. Bonney, guides you through each step of the process, from how to plan a hive to harvesting honey crops, and everything else in between. These experts in their field have provided you with information on the anatomy and behavior of honey bees. They have imparted their knowledge about colony life and colony-collapse disorder. There is even a section on apiary equipment and tools. This book is meant to be a reference guide for beginners who are just getting started and for experienced beekeepers who may have a specific problem. More details...
