Absolutely loved this book. not only was it structured well, it was "not" full of fluff, yet still managed to covered in greater detail than any other book on beekeeping, and as for the narrator (Alex Norton), I wish he narrated more.

spot on

I enjoyed this beginner bee book, (have listened to it a dozen times) the only drawbacks are that it is British and some info isn't easily absorbed by this American. For instance, temperatures are reported in Celsius, seasons I'm not sure if they correspond to my location. And he uses British national hives instead of the Langstroth that most Americans use. Well worth the $ for the info

Good book for the beginner

I have owned this book since 2014 and I listen to it every year before the beekeeping season starts. Alex Norton's Scottish brogue has become the theme music of my beekeeping journey.

The book is fairly short, as are most audio beekeeping books, but it is filled with useful information. The best of this information is the section on hive splits.

If you are a new beekeeper, then I strongly suggest you give this book a listen. If you are a seasoned beekeeper, then I still suggest the book - sure it won't provide you with new information but you just might be reminded of some basics you have forgotten.

If for no other reason, I recommend this book for Alex Norton's voice. The way he says Mer-Der when talking about killing old queens, echoes in my head every time I have to do the deed.

Just a wonderful book... I think I'll give it a listen before I make my Spring splits next week.

Fantastic Info That Is Worthy Of Repeat Reads
