Highly Recommended, Great Information!

The book is chalked-full of great information and insights. As someone looking to get into beekeeping, I found this book extremely beneficial. You can really tell the author is passionate and very knowledgeable about beekeeping. I’m really excited to get started next spring. My one complaint, that’s already been addressed in other reviews, is that the chapters mentioned in the book do not match with how they have the recording divided.

Well done

Exceptionally well done. There is a mountain of information in this work. So much in fact that it will require listening to the entire book several times while taking copious notes. I am also going to purchase a paper copy for reference.

The narrators voice was pleasant.

Very well done!!!
