"This is the liveliest, most entertaining, informative book about the keeping of bees I've seen in a long time.  It's full of useful, practical information, but written with a sense of fun, wit, and verve that is truly delightful.  Reading The Backyard Beekeeper made me want to go out to enjoy my bees."  -  Mark L.
