Beekeeping Books
I believe to become a better beekeeper you have to combine to things; a practical and theoretical knowledge of the subject 
and the latter is obviously achieved by reading lots of beekeeping books! There are a lot of beekeeping books out there on the market and I am trying to read as many as I possibly can. Each time I read one I will try to express and honest view point of what I think of the beekeeping books and put a review here for all to see.
I receive nothing from the authors of these beekeeping books in return for writing a review but from time to time, am sent beekeeping books from publishers but that is all. Therefore you can be assured that these are purely personal viewpoints and are not tainted by anything.
If you have a beekeeping book you would like reviewed please contact me for more information.
Queen Breeding and Bee Genetics by Eigil Holm is an English translation of a Danish Book and it is immediately apparent 
that it shouldn’t be pitched at those who are perhaps not particularly scientific minded. In parts, despite it being a very informative book, it did remind me of past textbooks with scary looking diagrams all over the pages. Then again, that is exactly what genetics is all about; therefore perhaps I am being a little harsh. Read more here
Beekeeping Book Review; Beekeeping, A Novice’s Guide. David Wootton
It is written by a passionate beekeeper and professional photographer, David Wootton. You can find his Photography website here. Therefore, as you can imagine being a photographer, the images throughout this 146 page book are by far the best photos you will see in many Beekeeping Books……..read more here
Beekeeping Books; Bee Boles and Bee Houses
I have recently found a real interest in the historical aspect of beekeeping and so I jumped at the chance to review this 
beekeeping book; Bee Boles and Bee Houses by A M Foster.
Essentially it is a good review of techniques used to house bees before a certain group in the early to mid 18th Century got involved and invented the moveable frames (I.e. Dzierzon, Langstroth amongst a few others)……..read more here
Beekeeping Book Review, The Bee Craftsman by H. J. Wadey
It has been a while since my last beekeeping book review but felt this needed a special mention. The Bee Craftsman; A short guide to the life story and management of the honey-bee by H.J Wadey. Now the best and worst bit about this book (and I speak for many beekeeping books here) is that it was written in 1943! It is a piece of social history and I have to say I absolutely love it for that fact alone……..read more here
Beekeeping Book Review – “Beekeeping; self-sufficiency”
This is the second of my reviews on beekeeping books so I hope that you find this one interesting as well. This is a book written by Joanna Ryde and I have to say immediately, it is a very easy to read book……read more here
Beekeeping Book Review “A World Without Bees”
I have to say, from a beginners perspective, this beekeeping book is worthy of a read. In fact it is worthy of a read to any beekeeper for that matter. Right from the start, it outlines exactly why there is a huge concern at the moment for the plight of the humble honey bee (or any other bee, as they cover them all) and certainly the first two chapters really highlight every concievable reason to be worried……read more here
