I truly enjoyed this book. The author was informative and humble as he offered a different way of beekeeping that just makes sense! I am only in my second year of keeping bees, but definitely think it is worth the extra time, and expense to change some of my methods for the sake of both the bees and the beekeeper (me). If you are looking for a well written, easy to read, informative book on keeping bees in a more natural and sustainable way, this book is a keeper!
