Acorn 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comprehensive Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2022 Most 'for beginners' books are dumbed down or just have a heap of good information thrown together but leave the beginner with many more questions. This beginners book falls into neither of those two categories. It is suitable for beginners but goes beyond the that in a comprehensive step-by-step fashion that covers all areas including: - basic information about bees - how to set up the colony - how to maintain it and ensure that the bees are healthy and productive - how to set up the business side, including how to put together a business plan and how to get funding. This book is highly recommended for anyone wanting to learn about and/or start a beekeeping business. Just one observation for the author/publisher - you ALMOST had the perfect title. You should have left the 'A' out. It's useless for indexing. It would have still read well without it. And every word would have started with a 'beeeeee'. Gabriela 5.0 out of 5 stars Great information about bees and beekeeping Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022 I picked this up on a whim and I am glad I did. I've never been overtly terrified of bees but was definitely more aware when I got stung by one a few years ago. I then found myself following a beekeeper and it intrigued me. This book was quick to read and very informative. More importantly it gave me a better understanding and appreciation for the bees. Kierah 5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful for beginners! Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2022 This little beekeeping book is great for anyone who is looking into getting their own bees. It's clear, concise, comprehensive and very informative!
