Good first book; comprehensive enough but not overwhelming

I lost this book (maybe a jealous competitor took it), so I bought another.

An abseloutly fabulous book!

I have read many beekeeping books, and out of all of them, this is the one I would reccommend. It has very detailed pictures and instructions and smoothy guided me through having a successful hive! The author obiously knows bees very well and has a lot of experience with them. He also shares the "do's and don'ts" of beekeeping.
