A good very basic, short introduction of under an hour, which answered a number of questions that I had about keeping bees. The book's "beekeeping is a great hobby" message is frequently repeated, so the book and could have been even shorter. And it was written in the US, so anyone thinking about starting beekeeping elsewhere like here in Canada would be wise to also check out more local information. For the particular sections like materials required, building the hives and keeping the hives, illustrated content would be practical, so this audiobook format falls short there.
