…a very organized approach to explaining the science and facts about bees … Just enough science that we can understand the facts. I am thoroughly enjoying your writings as well as the infographics.
a happy customerA great tool for new beekeepers. Often I see total bewilderment in new beekeeper’s faces during an explanation about beekeeping equipment, techniques and behaviors. BeeCabulary Essentials is a must-have for all beginners!
Mike Risk, MichiganThis is an outstanding work, very complete and very well illustrated. I am teaching a few autistic young men beekeeping and this book will be a great help.
