Critic reviews
“Kim Flottum’s expert advice is a comprehensive introduction to getting started with your own backyard hives. The book itself is also visually appealing: large photographs, illustrations, and callouts appear on nearly every page.”—Keeping Backyard Bees
“A stunningly beautiful and wonderfully thorough guidebook for the beginning beekeeper.”—Thomas D. Seeley, author of "Honey Bee Democracy," "Following the Wild Bees," "Honey Bee Ecology," and "The Behavior and Social Life of Honey Bees."
“The Backyard Beekeeper provides a concise and lucid introduction to the art of keeping bee colonies. A thorough introduction of bee diseases and problems guides the new beekeeper through some difficult but common challenges.”—Lawrence John Connor, founding member of Wicwas Press LLC and author of many essential beekeeping guides
“The Backyard Beekeeper presents a modern look at traditional beekeeping. Numerous photos and diagrams supplement good, clearly written, beekeeping information. Particularly useful, the 25 Rules section provides current beekeeping fundamentals for successful beehive management. This is an excellent text for anyone interested in becoming a knowledgeable beekeeper.”—James E. Tew, PhD, beekeeping specialist, Alabama Cooperative Extension System, Auburn University, and author of "The Beekeeper's Problem Solver" and "Wisdom for Beekeepers"
