Get the lowdown on hive anatomy and find out what kind of hive/s to acquire to suit your needs. Everything you need to know about acquiring, housing, maintaining and caring for your bees year-round is included with all the basics and invaluable time-tested advice. This title helps you to learn the science of honey and how to harvest and package it. Each chapter features a profile of real people keeping bees in different settings.
