Detailed book setting bees in wider context but also practical advice on beekeeping, varroa and queen rearing as well as the usual colony management subjects. Useful info here for beginners and those thinking of making money from beekeeping. The author started keeping bees in the UK in 1991, geared up to 4000 hives as a business in NZ, and has started a queen rearing business in the UK, so speaks from wide experience. Mostly black and white illustrations but also 24 colour photos. Too much to read in one sitting. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
A fascinating hobby; a remunerative business; or a globetrotting career? Which type of beekeeper do you want to be? It is entirely up to you: beekeeping can provide it all.Beekeeping can provide anyone with an interesting and useful hobby or a lucrative and rewarding business. It is recognised as a vital agricultural industry and can therefore also offer you a globe trotting career. The whole subject is, however, often shrouded in mystery and loaded with jargon, leaving many people unaware of its true potential or how to start. This book strips away all the mystery and explains step by step how - from day one - you can start beekeeping as a hobby; how you can progress to running a beekeeping business; or how you can start a career as a beekeeper which can quite easily take you all over the world. No other guide explains in such detail the true potential and accessibility of beekeeping or of being a beekeeper.
