Bee-sentials

A field guide by Dr. Lawrence John Connor, with Robert Muir, this is a "book of thought-provoking, science-based discussion designed for individuals and beekeeping clubs who mentor new beekeepers.

"Spend less time reading about how to assemble a frame and more time understanding what it takes for you and the bees to produce the wax, honey and pollen that goes into that comb.  This is a book focused on compassionate animal husbandry.  There is a strong "natural" focus for beekeepers who want to avoid or minimize pesticides and reduce stress on the bees."  (From the book jacket.)
