This book is very detailed and the author did a thorough job at researching honeybees. There was a LOT of information. If you are looking for a book about beekeeping , then this is the holy grail. I knocked off a star due to the fact that I really wanted to know more about the bees, personally. Otherwise, it was a quick guide to start an apiary. Go get your bee suit on!
