Collins Beekeeping Bible

This weighty tome of 414 pages pages, generously illustrated throughout , provides the reader with detailed information onmany aspects of beekeeping. Each sectionof the book is authored by differed writers who show that they have a deep interest in their chosen subject and who are able to express clearly the knowledge that theyhave gained from years of experience in the craft. There are five main sections to the book: 1. Bees and Beekeeping History -by Sharon Sweeny-Lynch and BKQs Sally Bucknall. 2. Understanding the Honeybee -Richard Jones. 3. Practical Beekeeping - Claire Waring. 4. Honey and Other Bee Products - Richard Jones. 5 Recipes and Home Crafts - Sarah Banberry The book is international in scope and there are some very welcome fresh illustrations (far too often the same pictures are frequently used especially as regards beekeeping history) - which shows that the picture researchers were very diligent in their task. The size and prominence of the pictures not only clarifies the text, but adds enormously to the design of the book giving the work much visual appeal.
