Tyson Estes: Recommended for anyone who wants to keep or learn about bees, every page in this book is packed full of practical knowledge and historical bee facts. The pages are all slick and heavy, with tons of color images and illustrations. It's one of the most beautiful and useful purchases I've made in a long time and has a permanent place in my reference library.

Jeff: I knew nothing about beekeeping before getting this book. I thought I would one day get a few hives, and this book served as a great introduction to beekeeping, giving me an overview of the history of beekeeping, bees themselves, and beekeeping. I no longer think I’ll get hives, now that I see how much is involved in the process! Still, it’s a nicely organized, very attractive book with great illustrations. It’s a bit clunky, and I found some parts tedious, but I liked it.

I’m not knowledgeable enough to say whether or not this is a good reference work for someone who’s actually going to keep bees or for someone who already has hives. But, if you’re like me and just want to learn more about the topic, I found this to be a great introduction, and it’ll make a great coffee table book.

Judgeatc: Due to a mix-up I got this book, as well as the Collins version of the same book, around the same time!

As with the Collins book this version provides a great informative read, with lots of great information on the history of bees, the management and keeping of them, and the things you can/make with the products of the hives.

It's only drawback - and why it's not 5 star - Americanisation!! The American spelling for words like colour (color) personally drives me nuts, and every time I come across one it stands out like a sore thumb! Also, if you are going to do any of the recipes you'll need to have a 'cup/measures' conversion table with you, because all the recipes use american measures (and on that score I think the Collins version also wins, since it gives various different conversions in the recipes, including the american ones!)
