The Backyard Beekeeper:An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Keeping Bees in Your Yard and Garden, by Kim Flottum

3.0

I can't wait to get a few hives in my backyard! It's going to be a while, though. In the meantime, I occasionally read some books on beekeeping to stay informed and excited. This book touches on a lot of subjects, but is not too in-depth about any one subject. It is definitely a good primer, but not a definitive book. A large portion of the book is dedicated to recipes and uses for honey and wax. It's like a totally separate book. But it's true, many beekeepers have a difficult time using and storing their liquid gold at the end of a harvest. Backyard Beekeeper is spot on with this section.
