3.75. A great guide to new/interested beekeepers - full of insightful tips, instructions and stories that's bound to get anyone interested in beekeeping. It's quite practical, but also nicely informative! Also good to read if you're just interested in the world of bees and beekeeping (like me) :)

Leuke engelstalige gids, geschreven als had je een persoonlijke coach bij de hand. Hoofdstukken geschikt volgens wat enthousiaste starters als eerste willen weten. Natuurlijk zijn niet alle seizoens- en weersafhankelijke werkwijzen zonder meer over te nemen in Europa.

Great guide to natural(ish) bee keeping in an urban environment. I loved it and found it very inspiring and helpful!!

I borrowed this from my library without reading the description so I was expecting something more memoir-ish. This is actually just a how-to book. It was thorough and I learned a good bit, but I don't have any interest in setting up my own bee hives.

This book made me want to buy overalls and a bee hive.
While the book was really informative and inspiring, I do realize it was not a full instructional guide. If anything I would hold onto this after taking the formal classes, as the writer recommends. It does not sugar coat (or shall I say honey coat) but it does look at bees with adoration. And now I really want bees and lightwash overalls.

A little overwhelming on the details of long-term care and underwhelming on the basics and start-up stuff I was looking for; "a Langstroth Hive is about as easy to assemble as furniture from Ikea" is NOT a real description, for instance, and a little cutesy for my tastes, too.
Luckily, I got another bee book for Xmas, and there are professionals around my city.
