"How to Keep Bees" is a detailed and accessible guide to bee-keeping and apiary management, with information on starting out, constructing an apiary, acquiring bees, and much more. Written in simple, plain language and profusely illustrated, this comprehensive handbook constitutes a must-have for modern readers with practical interest in the subject.
