Numbered rules, one skill at a time, from a Vermont beekeeper who wanted nothing left to guesswork. John Weeks walks through swarming and hiving, ventilating the hive, preventing robberies, and equalizing weak colonies against strong. A tidy field manual you can follow rule by rule through a season. Master the hive the methodical way, one clear instruction at a time.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
