Beekeeping is a fascinating and rewarding activity and is hugely important to the survival of our declining bee population, as much covered recently by the media. This attractive book offers practical and informative advice on how to get started, how to achieve and collect good harvests, beekeeping through the seasons, troubleshooting, queen rearing and more. It even suggests ways of encouraging bees for 'non-beekeepers'. Written by well respected experts Pam Gregory and Claire Waring, it provides accurate and reliable information on this increasingly popular pastime and is the ideal giftbook for the budding beekeeper.

Product description

About the Author

Pam Gregory started beekeeping in 1975 after moving to Wales during the ‘back to the land’ movement. She worked first at the National Bee Unit laboratory then in the field as a seasonal bee inspector, qualifying as a Master Beekeeper in 1986 and gaining the prestigious National Diploma in Beekeeping in 1991.

Claire Waring has kept bees since 1980 and been involved with beekeeping associations ever since, serving as General Secretary of the British Beekeepers’ Association from 2004 to 2005. She is Editor of Bee Craft, the leading UK beekeeping journal and is currently writing a Bee Manual.

Paul Peacock is a writer and broadcaster on environmental topics. A beekeeper for many years, he has been training allotment holders to keep bees in the inner city. He has written 20 books on self sufficiency and is a panellist on BBC4’s Gardeners Question Time, and presents a number of gardening Internet TV shows and DVDs.

    As a member of a Bee keeping association (and you should all join your local one if you want to keep bees) we used to recommend Ted Hooper's excellent book but it was always a bit too technical for an absolute beginner whereas Pam Gregory's new book is perfect for the beginner. It covers beekeeping month by month so you know exactly what you should be doing and looking out for in your hives and when, and there are more advanced techniques covered as well.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Not a detailed guide
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2012
    Verified Purchase
    This is a very attractive book, with some great photographs. I suppose it would be quite a nice book to have if you are just starting to think about beekeeping, as it tells you what you have to do, but it doesn't really tell you how you have to do it.
    No-one in their right minds would take up beekeeping without a very great deal of thought and research, and this would not really add to even the simplest of libraries on the subject.
    There is an awful lot of repetition, and, had there not been, the information contained in this book could have fitted into a very slim volume indeed, if not a pamphlet.
    As I say, quite nice as a preliminary introduction rather than a guide.

    Reviewed in the United States on 22 August 2011

    Delightful introduction to beekeeping for new folks considering doing so, and also those who have just gotten into the delightful world of honey bees. And for those of us who have been involved for a while there are lots of good reminders of things too easily forgotten or overlooked.

    Wonderfully organized, easy to read, and full of good information.
