I learned a lot

I want to highlight how the book is organized so that the material is read in order, from the beginning to professional advice that a "newbie" beekeeper may use. I also want to offer a recommendation because I care about the environment and I am aware of the importance of bees to the ecosystem.

Great book with good starter information. Complete overview but not too many granular details. For hobbyist beekeeping.
