Summary

An Easy Guide for Getting Started with Beekeeping

Beekeeping is a fun, easy-to-learn, inexpensive, and uniquely rewarding hobby that nearly anyone can do. Perhaps that's why it's growing in popularity, with new members joining local and national beekeeping groups in greater numbers each year, and new apiculture conferences and even scholarships coming online. Interest is up all around the world, as evidenced by numerous backyard beekeeping meetups, community workshops, and beekeeper training events that seem to crop up almost everywhere you look.

This audiobook contains a wealth of knowledge that comes from years of experience, distilled down to the essentials that every beginner needs. It offers practical advice to guide you all the way through your first season, from sourcing bees and equipment right through harvesting honey and preparing the hive for winter. Wherever I could, I also included tidbits, tricks, and shortcuts I wish I had known starting out - anything to make the job of beekeeping easier for you on your first time out.

Within this audiobook, you'll find the answers to these questions and more. Just some of the questions and topics covered include

  • Beekeeping Basics
  • All About Bees
  • Types of Bees
  • Hive Structure
  • Honey Flows
  • Making Preparations
  • Beekeeping by the Seasons
  • Problems to Watch Out For
  • Harvest and Winterization
  • And more!

This book was short, but it is enough informative for a person who is involved in beekeeping business. You can get seriously useful guidelines from here. I recommend this book to all.

Was it one chapter or just a summary?

I thought I was listening to an overview of the book and that it later would get in to each chapter in depth later. And then it was finished!
Even though the information might be enough I wouldn’t know, as “I am a beginner “
It really should have been better sectioned to make it clearer as what aspect of the beekeeping task being discussed.
