Publisher's summary

Here’s the perfect solution if you’re looking for a simple and practical guide to beekeeping!

Would you like to harvest your own honey and enjoy and help the honey-making process? Ready to build your first beehive? If that’s the case, this is the book that will help you do it!

Beekeeping is an old practice that even the ancient Egyptians liked to do. In essence, beekeeping really means nurturing and supporting adult bee populations that produce honey and other bee products such as beeswax or royal jelly.

Beekeeping can be extremely rewarding as a hobby, and there’s nothing quite so delicious as homegrown honey. But you should also keep in mind that beekeeping is no walk in the park - you need all the help you can get.

If you’re ready to start your beekeeping adventure, let this book take you through the beekeeping process step by step. You will learn everything there is to know about bees and beekeeping, and then it’s up to you to build your first beehive!

Here’s what you’ll learn in this audiobook:

  • The basic principles of beekeeping and how to prepare your hive
  • How to introduce bees to the hive and feed and nurture bees in a healthy way
  • What are beekeeping seasons and how to handle the honey harvest
  • Best ways to stave off pests, predators, and diseases and keep your beehive clean
  • What are the essential beekeeping supplies for beginners and how to avoid common mistakes
  • And so much more!

Beekeeping is a serious hobby, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it. If your mind is set on it, buy this book and learn exactly how to go about it. You will have your beehive ready in no time!

This was a great book.

Self-discipline is so important in any career to anybody, but so hard to find nowadays when we have so many distractions in our phones or in many different social networks or email.

Great For Listening.

This gives a pretty detailed overview of the process of setting up and managing a hive. Great for someone like me just starting out, or thinking about it! I know there is a lot more to it, but this gave me a pretty good idea of the whole process.
