As someone who's always been curious about beekeeping but totally clueless about where to start, this audiobook was a real game-changer! I was amazed at how it breaks down all the buzzing bits of info into bite-sized chunks that even a newbie like me could follow - walking you through everything step-by-step.

The best part? It covers way more than just honey-making. There's cool stuff about setting up hives in the city and even going off-grid with your bees. Who knew urban beekeeping was a thing?
