Bee-sentials: A Field Guide

by Lawrence John Connor, Robert G. Muir (Editor)

A beekeeping book you have been looking for a basic book with some 'meat on it's bones' for continued study by new and not-so-new beekeepers. A book that can be thrown into a computer bag or backpack and read on an airplane or beside a lake in the woods. Spend less time reading how to assemble a frame and more time understanding what it takes for you and the bees to produce the wax, honey and pollen that toes into the comb. This a book focused on compassionate animal husbandry. There is a strong 'natural' focus for beekeepers who want to avoid or minimize pesticides and reduce stress on the bees. A book of thought-provoking, science-based discussion designed for individuals and beekeeping clubs that mentor new beekeepers.

As a newbie beekeeper I found this book invaluable.
I feel more confident now in my ability to pursue this new found hobby and turn it into something more.
Great resource for the beginner beekeeper and the list of other books authored by Dr Connor are all on my list to read.
