The Backyard Beekeeper, 5th Edition

What a great resource! Novice and experienced beekeepers alike will find The Backyard Beekeeper to be the perfect reference book. It is well laid out and easy to understand. I especially loved the “Rules of Modern Beekeeping.” I plan to put the list of rules in my honey house to act as daily reminders.–Petra Ahnert, Founder of Beehive Alchemy and bestselling author of Beeswax Alchemy
