Who should keep bees, and who is better off leaving them alone? Albert Cook opens his apiary manual with that honest question, then lays out the recreation and profit of bee-keeping for specialists and amateurs alike. A thorough, encouraging guide from a respected teacher. Decide whether the hive is for you, then keep it well.

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.
