The Bee Book: The Wonder of Bees – How to Protect them – Beekeeping Know-how

Book contains a lot of information about bees with beautiful illustrations. Very useful for beginning beekeeper

Loved looking and reading this book it’s fantastic! Bought it as a gift for my son and he finds it very interesting, also how we can help the bees in what to plant that re-occurring pollen

Brilliantly illustrated, and full of interesting information about bees. I have used this book for a Home-ED class: the children absolutely loved it and we all found the illustrations inspiring. Highly recommended.

This is one you'll keep coming back to, the amount of facts and detail the writers have gotten into every page is impressive. The book is so well laid out, with clever use of beautiful illustrations and photos throughout. There is no fluff. It covers all the basics of beekeeping and teaches you loads about other bees too. The section on pollinator plants is very useful. I like the well rounded approach, it's not just about honey but it does go over harvesting honey also. I think it would be a great introduction to beekeeping and even those that know the basics already will get something out of this.

This book is suitable for anyone with an interest in bees, regardless of whether they keep bees or just want to encourage them into the garden. I would have given 5 stars, except there's a hole through one page but, as it goes through a section about miner bees, we decided it's quite appropriate, so kept the book anyway!

Great for Children and Adults alike. Superb book.

Xmas present for someone who knows nothing about bees; from someone who has grown up with bees always in my life 🐝

This is simply a beautiful book. Primarily it is the accuracy and clarity of several aspects of the bee. Each aspect is beautifully illustrated and using 4 different authors to reflect the different angles means expertise exudes from every section. This would suit someone who wants to know more about bees in a scientific way, or those who want to make a bee friendly garden, budding beekeepers or those who want to use excellent products of the hive for practical, beauty or some health purposes. It is a nice quality hardback book so is durable for a general library or for beekeeping associations or school libraries. Dorling Kindersley continues to go from strength to strength in maintaining accuracy but at the same time explaining everything so clearly. Whilst children can comprehend the chapters, adults won't feel the book is childish. Even contemporary topics such as pesticides and colony collapse are included. I have already purchased two copies. One for visitors to our apiary at Hughenden Manor - a project run totally by volunteers where we have so many interested and curious visitors.

Completo, bem escrito e tinha tudo que eu queria.

Been wanting to get bees into the garden for a while & the book helped me to plant the correct plants to do so. Also, the whole book is jam packed with info! Great quality book & highly recommend to anyone interested in bees.

I bought this as a gift for my mom because she borrowed it from our city library and didn’t want to give it back! I had a flip through and it’s great—clearly laid out with interesting recipes and remedies and soaps and other fun stuff to try. My mum is very inspired by it: she just night one of those new houses and is looking at adding more to her gardens to help or native bees.

Amazing book, better than expected. Perfect for beginners.

Gave it to my brother who hates reading but has developed an obsession with bee keeping. He loved it.
