Clear and practical
This book is one of the clearest manuals on beekeeping I have ever seen - I wish that I had had it years ago when I first started to keep bees. Just about everything you need to know is here and illustrated clearly. If you are unable to be taught by an actual beekeeper in the field, this book is the way to go. Excellent.
The Perfect Beekeeper Manual
I always read the literature list in the backs of the beekeeping books that I buy to find a new and interestingly useful book I did not see before. This book I found in the back of the BBKA guide to beekeeping book so i decided to look it up. It seemed interesting so I bought it. This book is a great little manual for the aspiring and starting off beekeepers. It is full of almost entirely photos with little captions and blocks of text that step by step guide you through what you are doing and introduce one to things that may be unfamiliar. I highly recommend this book to any aspiring keeper.

Info is not what I was looking for

Bee-rilliant
What a great book! It was initially bought as a bit of a silly present with the idea of buying a proper reference book later. It has however surpassed our expectations and is great. This is our constant reference book and has got use through a series of problems in our first and second year of bee keeping. There is good amount of detail and some brilliant images that help in detail to tell the story. The book was read in full when it first arrived and now is used as reference when needed it has covered all the main areas, I have not found answers missing when I have a question . I love the set up of this book it is clear and concise and in a world of just googling it I have found it often better to use this and then ask google later for any finer points. I have now bought the sheep version of this series mainly down to the fact that this book was so well set out.
Excellent book.
Excellent book. Well presented. Easy to to understand - not too technical. Great pictures. I also have The BBKA Guide. And I think The Bee Manual is better for me as a beginner.
