I’ll have a bigger backyard next year, and I’ve been thinking about getting bees. I'm a total newbie (new-bee? lol) about them but I think I can now make it work. This book was a great starting point! It explained everything in a way that didn’t feel overwhelming, from setting up a hive to keeping the bees healthy. I also liked learning about how to use honey and beeswax. I’m still deciding, but at least now I feel like I understand what I’d be getting into!
