A comprehensive guide on establishing and maintaining beehives

Beekeeping is a popular pastime that more and more people are taking up for fun or even modest profit. Today, you will find hives not only in large fields or rural spaces, but also in city gardens and on rooftops—to the benefit of both bee and beekeeper. If you’re at the early or middle stages of your beekeeping journey and need a go-to guide on establishing and maintaining your hives, The Beekeeper’s Guide is the perfect companion. It offers invaluable information about a wide range of bee species and their life cycle, behavior, and optimal habitat, and covers the practicalities of beekeeping, from personal safety and hive hygiene to feeding methods and record keeping. Complete with an extensive troubleshooting section and a directory of useful resources, The Beekeeper’s Guide is a comprehensive tool for all beekeepers.
