Summary

Learn all you need to know about starting your colony with this how-to guide for a beekeeping.

This practical guide provides you with all the essentials of beekeeping that will help make your backyard-beekeeping a breeze. It introduces some concepts, tools, and resources on how to handle your beehive and how to plan your first colony, with sound advice for caring for your bees so that you can enjoy the harvest of your hard work.

Part history book and part handbook, this manual covers important aspects of the ancient hobby of beekeeping in a modern and simple-to-understand way. In this book, you will learn how to manage hives safely and harvest your own honey, with other simple ideas on how to store and market the honey and beeswax you produce.

Other things to expect in this book include:

  • Practical information on the workings of a hive, how and where to set up hives to increase the chances of maximum success, buying and installing quality bees, and feeding bees 
  • Effective suggestions for dealing with common hive pests and diseases, including possible reasons for colony collapse disorder (CCD), backed up with studies and research.
  • Guide for enjoying rich and bountiful harvests, with instructions to aid you in processing, storing, and marketing the products from your hives, as well as how to make products from your harvest
  • Guidance for different seasons, to ensure your hives stay healthy, strong, and refreshed throughout their life cycle
  • Ways to identify when your hive goes queen-less, to ensure your bees do not start producing infertile eggs that can jeopardize the survival of your hive

If you’re new to beekeeping, Beekeeping Starter Guide is the perfect companion to get you started!
