Description
The perfect gift for the beekeeper in your life - both those new to the craft and more experienced keepers.
Wisdom for Beekeepers is a comprehensive collection of 500 beekeeping tips written by life-long beekeeper Jim Tew. It covers all aspects of beekeeping including:
- Becoming a Beekeeper
- Beekeeping Equipment
- The Beekeeping Year
- Getting Live Bees
- Colony Management
- Honey
- Bee By-Products
- Pollination
- Ailments
- Bee Biology
The tips are grouped logically so that novices can build their knowledge gradually, while old hands may prefer to dip in and out at random or use the index to refer to specific topics.
Illustrated throughout with specially commissioned linocut prints by award-winning printmaker Melvyn Evans, Wisdom for Beekeepers is an ideal introductory read for both newcomers to beekeeping and more experienced beekeepers.
