Beekeeping A Seasonal Guide

A charming and practical guide to accompany the beekeeper through each season of the beekeeping year. In-depth but simple instruction for all the techniques you need, from choosing and siting your hive to controlling swarms, rearing queens and, of course, harvesting the tastiest honey. Packed with expert advice for beekeepers of all levels, wheather you are just starting out or an experienced apiarist wishing to develop your skills. Ron Brown (OBE) has over 50 years’ experience of keeping bees, both in Britain and central Africa. A former editor of the monthly journal Beekeeping, he has travelled al over the world to give lectures on specialist beekeeping topics.

Ron Brown first produced this classic title in 1985 and Batsford the publishers are to be congratulated with this updated 2011 reprint, While lacking the rather poor photos of the earlier edition the information and readability of this edition is first rate. Ron died early in April 2011 but his wisdom and knowledge lives on.
