A perfect introduction to beekeeping

This audiobook took what sounded like an intimidating activity to a complete novice and made beekeeping seem very approachable. I liked the clarity of explaining basic equipment and steps to establish a hive, and very practical detailed information regarding recognizing a healthy colony and common pests. Most informative was the section on making products from hive resources, such as candles and skincare-added creativity, added rewarding feeling in all this. This is indeed a very comprehensive guidebook, which genuinely instills confidence and excitement about this amazing hobby.
