Sound step by step practical advice... August 15, 2010
D. Currie
Comprehensive coverage of most aspects of bee keeping. Written in a laid-back style, without dogma, yet set out in a logical format.

I would recommend as an excellent reference book for beginners. Those keen to expand their apiary or simply gain a refreshingly different perspective on the subject - which generates more personal opinions than you can shake a stick at - would also benefit!

Quite simply, the best book I have ever read on beekeeping. David Cramp covers the entire subject in a simple, almost conversational style. Where there are several options, he outlines each one, then tells the reader which ones, in his experience, actually work or don't work. It's a great read the first time, and then a very useful reference book thereafter.

A Practical Manual of Beekeeping; David Cramp: Novice Beekeeper tries patience of local library. April 26, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Along with about five other beekeeping titles, I requested David Cramp's book from my local library; I found it so much more readable and informative than the others that I renewed it over and over and finally (from embarrassment as much as anything) decided that I must have it to hand at all times so it was time to purchase my own copy. Even though I have read it all through, (and being of a certain age with slight memory impairment problems), it is a joy to dip into whenever I need to check on something. Highly recommended.

If you are thinking about keeping bees, this is the book for you. It's easy to read, fun and authoritative without being boring.

I bought this because I am hoping to start beekeeping. It is highly readable, tells you exactly what you need to know and is clear enough for a novice to understand but goes into sufficient detail for more experienced beekeepers. Well worth the money.
