Bee-keeping can be a source of both money and quiet joy, and John Cumming argues for both. He covers how to begin, where to place the bee-house, choosing hives and boxes, getting your first bees, and understanding the inmates of the hive. A gentle, encouraging entry into the craft. Take up the hive for profit and pleasure alike.

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.
