Honeybee Biology and Beekeeping

Authored by entomologist, Dr. Dewey Caron, this hardback book provides a nice combination of honeybee biology essentials, and beekeeping basics.  With plenty of illustrations and clear text, it is an excellent addition to your library. 

 

"Honey Bee Biology and Beekeeping explains bee biology, what bees do, and provides the tools which make it possible for an individual to successfully manage bee colonies.  I have concentrated on the "why" aspects of bee biology - the biological basis of specific beekeeping activities - so that the reader understands "when" and "how" certain things must be done.  My intent is to explain bee and beekeeping basics in a manner meaningful to a person who lacks an extensive background or knowledge of biology.  Yet I have not over simplified bee biology to the point where it is meaningless to the serious beekeeper or informed biologist."  -  Dewey M.
