Beekeeping:
A Practical Guide for the Novice Beekeeper Buying Bees, Management,
Rearing, Honey Production
by Werner Melzer, et al. This little book is my "giveaway" to people interested in
getting started in bees. It's not a complete guide by any means, but
gives someone interested a basic overview. It has outstanding photos and
graphics on the beekeeper's year. Has a European slant many may not
like, but I found quite interesting. Great price for size and content.

The
World History of Beekeeping and Honey Hunting by
Eva Crane (Hardcover - October 1999) Crane
was director of the International Bee Research Association for a quarter
of a century. Here she updates and expands her 1983
by incorporating subsequent findings and bringing the coverage up to the
present. She begins with the evidence of rock art for prehistoric bee
hunting and archeological indications of early beekeeping. She traces
the probably route of transmission of hives within the Mediterranean
region, northern Europe, eastern and western Asia, and the Americas. The
technology, she shows, changed little from the earlier days until the
19th century, and has been tinkered with considerably ever since. Other
topics include the history of bee products and the symbolic importance
of bees, hives, honey, and wax in both literature and religion. Her text
is abundantly supported with black-and-white illustrations. |

From
Where I Sit: Essays on Bees, Beekeeping, and Science by
Mark L. Winston, Eva Crane (Paperback - April 1998) A scientist before he was a
beekeeper, Mark L. Winston found in his new hobby a paradigm for
understanding the role science should play in society. In essays
originally appearing as columns in Bee Culture, the leading professional
journal, Winston uses beekeeping as a starting point to discuss broader
issues, such as how agriculture functions under increasingly complex
social and environmental restraints, how scientists grapple with issues
of accountability, and how people struggle to maintain contact with the
natural world. Winston's reflections on bees, beekeeping, and science
cover a period of tumultuous change in North America, a time when new
parasites, reduced research funding, and changing economic conditions
have disrupted the livelihoods of bee farmers. |

Hive
Management: A Seasonal Guide for Beekeepers by Richard E. Bonney. The beekeeper's year
begins with a late winter hive inspection and ends with "putting
the bees to bed" in the autumn. Richard Bonney believes that each
beekeeping activity should be performed with an eye toward the overall
well-being of the colony, as part of an integrated year-round program of
hive management. Long-term success in beekeeping can only be achieved by
understanding the intimate lives, behaviors, and motivations of honey
bees -- the factors which govern the life of each colony. Richard Bonney
explains the reasons behind common practices that many beekeepers
perform without really knowing why. He also stresses when to take timely
actions that will prevent problems in future seasons. |

The
Beekeeper's Handbook by
Diana Sammataro, et al. Diana
Sammataro and Alphonse Avitabile have revised and expanded their clear
and comprehensive guide to cover changes in beekeeping. They discuss the
crisis created by the parasitic bee mites. In less than a decade, for
example, Varroa mites have saturated the North American honeybee
population with disastrous results, devastating both managed and wild
populations. The new edition of The Beekeeper's Handbook covers mite
detection and control as well as the selection and testing of bees that
may have some tolerance to mites.Serves as a comprehensive
well-illustrated introduction for beginners and a valuable reference for
the experienced beekeeper. |
|
Keeping
Bees by
John Vivian, et al. This well-illustrated guide introduces the
beginner to the fundamental aspects of apiculture, from the construction
of the hive, through bee management, honey harvesting and on to candle
making. Apiary expense estimates are up-to-date and information on bee
diseases and the ``Africanization'' problem is accurate and current.
Aspiring bee keepers striving for self-sufficiency will find this book
unique, as it gives directions for the building of hives, frames, and a
wax foundation molding press. Bee hobbyists less interested in projects
requiring wood working skills would be better served by Rober A. Morse's
A Year in the Beeyard. |
|
|
Beekeeping:
A Practical Guide by Richard E. Bonney (Paperback -
November 1993) Whether
you're a beginning beekeeper or one with a season or two of experience,
Richard Bonney tells you how to keep bees, not just have them. This new
book by the acclaimed author of Hive Management offers vital, up-to-date
information about how to acquire bees, install a colony, manage a hive,
take a crop of honey, prevent and treat Varroa and tracheal mites, and
learn about Africanized bees. |
|
A
Book of Bees : And How to Keep Them by
Sue Hubbell (Author) "The
real masterwork that Sue Hubbell has created is her life," David
Quammen wrote in the New York Times. This book is, like its author, a
unique achievement. Weaving a vivid portrait of her own life and her
bees' lives through the seasons, Hubbell writes "about bees to be
sure, but also about other things: the important difference between
loneliness and solitude . . . the accommodating of oneself to
nature" |

The
ABC and Xyz of Bee Culture The 40th
edition of this classic in its field leaves nothing to chance.
Everything a beekeeper needs to know about obtaining and keeping bee
hives is contained therein. Updated by expert Roger Morse, the book
contains, in encyclopdia form complete information on the honeybee,
including undated information on the "africanized bee" (aka
the infamous "killer bees") and the threat they pose to the
hobbyist beekeeper. Excellent data is included on the various diseases
and parasites which also threaten the beekeeping industry. If you keep
bees or want to keep bees or simply want to know more about this
unappreciated, but vital aid to our modern agriculture, you need this
book. |
|
The
New Starting Right With Bees If you
need a book to help you begin to keep bees, this is it. I am a certified
beekeeping instructor and use this book in every class that I teach. It
gives you all the basics that you need to successfully start your own
hive of bees. Care must be used when applying the information found in
the book because every region of the U.S. is different. But with a
little assistance, from a local association, you will be able to apply
the knowledge gained and be rewarded with a fine crop of honey. |
|
|
Discovering
Beekeeping (Discovering Series No. 236) by
Daphne More (Paperback - March 1999) This book is intended for the person wishing to keep one or two hives for their own pleasure & profit, probably in their own garden. It will also provide a sound basis for those who may want to extend their activities at a later time. |

Practical
Beekeeping (Hardcover)
by Clive De Bruyn. This book is by far the most concise and readable book
on the subject of beekeeping that I've read to date. In hindsight, I might
not agree with everything that he has to say but I think its a very good
book for beginners. The author takes great care not to assume any prior
knowledge on behalf of the reader. I found this a very useful reference
book for dipping into having first read it through from start to finish.

Caring
for Your Miniature Donkey by Bonnie R. Gross
Reviewer: A reader from
Burlington, NJ USA. This book says it all, although the section on feeding

have a mini donkey, I'm sure giving some though to it now. These animals
are marvelous creatures. I think instead of another dog I'll go for a mini
donkey and call him Kansas. |

addition of a tiny bit of donkey humor. I have recommended it more than
any other driving text. |
