What They're Saying
Critics Review
“It is written using normal layman’s language, and as such is very easy to read, and will be a valuable addition to the library of any backyard or commercial beekeeper. There are nice, large color photos and good illustrations that really help with pest and disease identification.”
“I know how hard it is to get a good grasp of this wide-ranging area of beekeeping, and also how hard it is to remember the details of each pest or disease. This book is the answer. And, it is easy to understand. Every beekeeper will benefit from (and even enjoy) reading this book.”
