About this product

Product Information

The book is aimed at both the novice and experienced beekeeper in Australia and explains in detail the steps required to manage colonies of bees. Supported by over 350 photographs and drawings, each action to be performed is explained in detail with photographs showing the steps as well as the final result. Many potential beekeepers are unclear about the equipment they need to buy and how to obtain their first colony of bees. The first chapters in the book explain in detail the equipment needed as well as equipment that may be useful later on as their confidence and experience grows. The chapter 'Your First Bees' explains how to obtain bees, where to locate them in the garden, and the basics of colony management. In addition to chapters on keeping bees, there are detailed chapters on the life cycle of the honey bee, extracting honey, the bee-friendly garden, entering honey in competitions, native bees and rearing queens. The result is a comprehensive manual that includes material not available in other Australian, North American or European books and is the ultimate Australian reference source.

Top critical review
One of the few books that focus on Australian conditions, but not well organised.
Good quality book with lots of colour photographs. Lots of terms used without them being defined first. If a novice wants to learn about this topic, it does not help to launch into pages of explanations that use terms that the industry might be quite familiar with, but not the newcomer. For example, "swarming" turns out to be the act of bees actually leaving the hive. I thought the word swarm represented a collection of bees. There are many more terms used that do not even get defined in the Glossary. Not the best way to learn for the rank beginner.

The Bee Resource Manual
Excellent resource on Australian bee keeping from starting through to global diseases, and hive construction in between. Well worth the $40 expenditure and to keep if the colony goes pear-shaped down the track in trying to fix it. Cheers.....mike
