Book arrived with coffee cup ring stain on the cover plus a second black scuff mark 2" by 2".
Will be returned, waste of time.
Book is fantastic and anyone keeping bees should read it.

The book itself is of excellent quality. The feel of the cover and the paper, the sheen, the type - all of it is excellent. The writing and information inside are GOLD. Wonderful author who presents an immense amount of research and information very clearly and directly. As a lay person/new beekeeper I found it really digestible. All practical information in anyone interested in keeping bees while still contributing to and preserving the vitality and genes of wild bee populations responsibly. I will keep this book as a reference and guide book. Especially useful to anyone not only curious about bees, but wanting to keep bees as naturally as possible.

Excellent well presented book would definitely recommend especially if you’re looking for a beekeeping book that’s abit more in-depth that you’re normal bee keeping books

If you are a beekeeper you will love it. Not sure anyone else will but it could cause you to become a beekeeper.

Well written and deep insight into the life of a honeybee with adequate referrence to scientific research (mostly by the author and his group at Cornell though). Might be a difficult read for people that are not used to scientific literature.

Molto bello, ma pieno di ditate unte sulla copertina, che non si riuscivano a togliere senza rovinare il libro (il libro era da regalare).

As a new beekeeper, I found this book useful. It helped me to understand how the hive works, how the work is divided, and how the colony makes decisions. Because I had read this book, I knew what was happening when scout bees were investigating one of my swarm traps (bait hive), and when the swarm finally landed. I knew that my trap was just one of the candidates the swarm was considering. Another of my traps had scout bees investigating for several days, and then they left. My location was not chosen. I knew I needed to make that bait hive more attractive if I wanted it to catch a swarm.
The book also gives a good understanding of how bees reproduce. Some new beekeepers will lament the presence of drone brood (developing male bees) because they think drones just drain resources and don't produce anything for the hive. Some will destroy the drones they find. These same people might then turn around and want to buy a mated queen for a colony that just lost a queen. Those "worthless" drones are not just valuable, they are critical to the reproductive process. They fly around in search of unmated queens. I had one colony that chose to replace their queen. I...

Prof. Thomas Seeley ist in Imkerkreisen kein Unbekannter. Seit über 40 Jahren forscht er zu Bienenthemen. Sein Hauptanliegen ist es, die "natürliche" Lebensweise von Honigbienen zu erforschen und daraus Ratschläge für Imker abzuleiten, wie eine artgerechte Bienenhaltung zu organisieren ist. Diese Art des Imkerns nennt er "Darwinian Beekeeping". In diesem Buch fasst er seine wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse in leicht lesbarer Weise zusammen und ordnet die Informationen in zehn sinnvollen Kapiteln (z.B. Food Collection, The Nest, Colony Defense) sowie einer stichpunktartigen Zusammenfassung.
Ich fand die Herangehensweise des Autors an seine wissenschaftlichen Fragestellungen faszinierend, seine lockere und verständliche, zugleich die Begeisterung für Honigbienen widerspiegelnde Darstellung hervorragend und seine Erkenntnisse und Schlussfolgerungen zumeist nachvollziehbar. Berufsimker werden Seeleys Thesen und Anliegen und seine Kritik an der Nutzung der Honigbiene als Produktionsmittel nicht schätzen. Aber für Hobbyimker ist dieses Buch eine großartige Quelle von Informationen über Apis mellifera, deren natürliche Lebensweise und Vorlieben, sowie ihr...
