Summary: THE BOOK! This is the book that Rutger's uses in it's class
Review: I first used this book in 1979, it has been a companion ever since. I wear mine to shreads and must replace it every couple of years. I learned everything I neeeded to get started in bee keeping and taught me something new with every new release. To manage hives for honey production, polination or queen rearing, this book is the authority. To work in your hive, or apiary without it,is like driving your car with a blindfold on.

Summary: More honey please!
Review: This is an excellent how-to book for novices in the honey industry. Last year when I decided that harvesting honeybees would be an interesting way to make a living, this was the book I read to prepare myself for the challenge ahead!
Read, drink and eat honey!
